Oruro, Bolivie
Oruro is a ceety in Bolivie wi a population o 235,393 (2010 calculation), locatit aboot equidistant atween La Paz an Sucre at approximately 3710 meters abuin sea level. It is the caipital o the depairtment o Oruro. The ceety wis named efter the native tribe "Uru-Uru".
History
The ceety wis first foondit on November 1, 1606 bi Don Manuel Castro de Padilla. as a siller minin centre in the Urus region. At the time, it wis named Real Villa de San Felipe de Austria efter the Spainyie monarch, Philip III. It wis eventually abandoned as the siller mines became exhausted. Oruro wis reestablished in the late nineteent century, as a tin minin center. For a time, the La Salvadora tin mine wis the maist important soorce o tin in the warld. Gradually, this resoorce wis an aa exhaustit, an Oruro again went intae a decline. The ceety daes manage, housomeivver, tae attract tourists tae its carnival, the Carnaval de Oruro, considered ane o the great folkloric events in Sooth Americae for its masked "diablada".
The ceety is the seat o the Roman Catholic Diocese o Oruro. The Oruro Symphony Orchestra is based in Oruro. Aymara painter an prentmakker Alejandro Mario Yllanes (1913–1960) wis born here.
Climate
The ceety o Oruro lies north o the salty lakes Uru-Uru an Poopó an it is juist three oors (bi bus) sooth frae La Paz. Locatit at an altitude o 3709 meters abuin sea level, Oruro its weel kent for its cauld wather. Warmer temperaturs generally tak place durin August, September an October, efter the worst o the winter chills an afore the simmer rains. Frae Mey tae early Julie, nicht time temperaturs combined wi ceul wind can bring the temperatur doun tae aboot -20 °C. Simmers are warmer, but despite the fact o bein an arid aurie, thare's quite a lot o rainfaw atween November an Mairch.

Special relativity
In physics, special relativity (SR, forby kent as the special theory o relativity or STR) is the acceptit physical theory regardin the relationship atween space an time. It is based on twa postulates: (1) that the laws o physics are invariant (i.e., identical) in aw inertial seestems (non-acceleratin frames o reference); an (2) that the speed o licht in a vacuum is the same for aw observers, regairdless o the motion o the licht soorce. It wis oreeginally proponed in 1905 bi Albert Einstein in the paper "On the Electrodynamics o Movin Bodies". The inconsistency o classical mechanics wi Maxwell’s equations o electromagnetism led tae the development o special relativity, which corrects classical mechanics tae haundle situations involvin motions nearin the speed o licht. As o the day, special relativity is the maist accurate model o motion at ony speed. Even sae, classical mechanics is still uisefu (due tae its sheer simplicity an heich accuracy) as an approximation at smaa velocities relative tae the speed o licht, an it requires much less complicatit calculations.
It is pairt of the theory o relativity, an is expandit by the theory o general relativity.

Quark
A quark ( or ) is an elementary particle an a fundamental constituent o matter. Quarks combine tae furm composite pairticles cried hadrons, the maist stable o which are protons an neutrons, the components o atomic nuclei. Due tae a phenomenon kent as color confinement, quarks are never directly observed or foond in isolation; thay can be foond anly within hadrons, sic as baryons (o which protons an neutrons are examples), an mesons. For this reason, much o what is kent aboot quarks haes been drawn frae observations o the hadrons themselves.
Thare are sax types o quarks, kent as flavors: up, doun, strange, charm, bottom, an tap. Up an doun quarks hae the lawest masses o aw quarks. The hivier quarks rapidly chynge intae up an doun quarks throu a process o pairticle decay: the transformation frae a heicher mass state tae a lawer mass state. Acause o this, up an doun quarks are generally stable an the maist common in the universe, whauras strange, charm, tap, an bottom quarks can anly be produced in heich energy collisions (sic as those involvin cosmic rays an in pairticle accelerators).
