content: Quarks are elementary particles that are the fundamental building blocks of matter in the Standard Model of particle physics. They are the smallest known particles and come in six different flavors: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. Quarks combine to form protons, neutrons, and other hadrons, and they are never found in isolation due to a phenomenon called confinement. Quarks play a crucial role in understanding the strong nuclear force and the structure of matter at the subatomic level.
response: What sound does a subatomic duck make? Quark! (Image: Image of a duck made up of quarks, humorously connecting quarks and the sound 'quack.')
