if quarks can't be separated, doesn't that mean they're not particles?
I just read on the internet that protons are made of quarks, therefore they are not undivisible particles. but, according to the rules of the universe, it's impossible to separate those quarks and have a quark alone not bound to anything. doesn't that imply that quarks aren't real particles? protons are fundamental particles then

the top quark does that. It is so heavy that it decays before it can hadronize

quarks have never been observed
it's just a mathematical construct that makes the theory fit observations

Fags have never been observed.
Until now...
