Quarks: Frontiers in Elementary Particle Physics
  1. What is an elementary particle?
    1. Elementary depends on the context
      1. Chemistry
        1. Elements
        2. Physics
          1. Leptons and Hadrons
            1. Yukawa Meson Theory
        3. Conservation Laws
          1. Qutantities that does not change under certain type of transformations (Invariants)
          2. Are real?
            1. How we do science?
              1. If something smell like a cow, walk like a cow, sleep like a cow and eat like a cow, then shoul be a cow!!!
                1. Theory
                  1. Should be verified by experiments
                    1. If the theory does not match with the experiment
                      1. Patch the theory (ugly but effective)
                        1. Create a new one
                        2. A good theory
                          1. Match with the experiments
                            1. Predict new results
                              1. Strong confidence
                    2. Quarks and leptons
                      1. Gell-Man introduce the concept of quarks
                        1. Kinds of particles
                          1. Leptons (light particles)
                            1. Electron, Neutrino and Muon
                            2. Hadrons
                              1. Heavy particles
                                1. Structure
                                  1. Size
                                    1. "Range of the force"
                                2. Baryons (3 quarks) Mesons (2 quarks)
                              2. We can construct a theory over a conservation law
