Astrophysics Quote by Neil deGrasse Tyson

“While the effective electrical charge of a proton decreases with distance, the strength of the effective color charge of a quark increases with distance.”

— Henning Genz

In the lab, we could not see or physically describe the mathematical objects that we called quarks, which we suspected were the key to…

— David Gross

“Quarks are so weird that they have been referred to as “The dreams that stuff is made from,” and they are way beyond the…

— Clive Maxfield

There are considerable mysteries surrounding the strange values that Nature's actual particles have for their mass and charge. For example, there is the unexplained…

— Roger Penrose

For five hundred dollars, I'll name a subatomic particle after you. Some of my satisfied customers include Arthur C. Quark and George Meson.

— Scott Adams

“The leptons most familiar to the non-physicist are the electron and perhaps the neutrino; and the most familiar quarks are . . . well,…

— Neil deGrasse Tyson

Quarks came in a number of varieties - in fact, at first, only three were needed to explain all the hundreds of particles and…

— Richard P. Feynman

“We, and the visible universe around us, may exist only because of a difference in the ninth decimal place between the numbers of quarks…

— Martin Rees

“During the quark–lepton era the universe was dense enough for the average separation between unattached quarks to rival the separation between attached quarks.”

— Neil deGrasse Tyson

“Shortly before, during, and after the strong and electroweak forces parted company, the universe was a seething soup of quarks, leptons, and their antimatter…

— Neil deGrasse Tyson

“Over the last century, our physical description of the world has simplified quite a bit. As far as particles are concerned, there appear to…

— Lee Smolin

“It turned out that Evgeny Evgenievich indeed had a clever plan how to convert me to math. As soon as I came to his…
