| 31. | David Lindley asks at the outset of his illuminating new book about subatomic physics.
|
| 32. | How close to nothing is this subatomic particle?
|
| 33. | He is a co-discoverer of the subatomic particle known as the quark.
|
| 34. | Throughout the next two decades, he devised a revolutionary ordering of subatomic particles.
|
| 35. | "It's almost like a subatomic response in people,"
|
| 36. | The answer comes from the paradoxical-sounding quantum rules that govern subatomic affairs.
|
| 37. | That was quantum mechanics, the paradoxical rules that ascribe randomness to subatomic behavior.
|
| 38. | The world, you might argue, does not need yet another subatomic particle.
|
| 39. | Perl found another subatomic particle in separate work.
|
| 40. | Quantum mechanics is the study of the behavior of subatomic particles such as electrons.
