All right, another serious question.
What makes the various Quarks create the sub-atomic particles of the Atom, i.e. why do up and down quarks create Protons and Neutrons?
What it looks like is that all this happened in the beginning (WAY beginning) stages of the universe. The universe was full of heat energy and that's it. Then as it expanded it "cooled" and enough of the energy was dispersed so quarks could form. They still were very volitle(sp) and didn't bond with each other when they collided. Then as the universe continued to expand the energy was more dispersed again and the quarks would stick to each other when they collided. These formed the protons and neutrons. At this time the universe was still very hot. Then it expanded and cooled more. So they don't have enough energy to break their bonds anymore. The up and down quarks were attracted to each other like opposite charges in magnets do. That's about all I know about the subject of quarks. It'll be a couple more years before I can take a subatomic physics course.
