Get the qpark mug.a quark is a fundemental constituant of matter
Observed in 1968 through deep elastic scatter
We found that protons aren't as simple as we thought
We thought they were solid particles but they are not
Protons in fact are made up of three separate pieces
It just gets more confusing as our knowledge increases
But that is what a quark is; It's a piece of a proton
And they also make up other things including the neutron
And with leptons and bosons, unless something's amiss,
They make up everything that we can see and that we know exists
Things made up of quarks including protons and neutrons
Are composite particles that physicists call hadrons
Many types of hadrons are theoretically described,
But most exist for only very brief amounts of time
Quarks have electric charge, color charge, mass and spin,
And having color charge means they exist solely inside of
Other kinds of particles and cannot exist alone
Which is why quarks have never been studied on their own
Quarks can join together in two different ways,
Baryons and Mesons, but most instantly decay
If a particle has three quarks, then it's a baryon,
And if there's one quark and and anti-quark, then it is a meson

Man did you hear that Hank Green song about quarks?
Strange Charm? Yeah! It totally got me into atoms and stuff!

Get the quark mug.The mysterious quark is one of the two basic constituents of matter that make up protons and neutrons, with there being exactly three quarks within each kind of particle.
It is often stated that the word was originally coined by Murray Gell-Mann who found it in James Joyce's book Finnegans Wake. However, Joyce himself had probably found the word in a German dictionary.

"Three quarks for Muster Mark!
Sure he has not got much of a bark
And sure any he has it's all beside the mark"
(James Augustine Aloysius Joyce)

Get the quark mug.1. To prevent a friend (male or female) or associate from attending a physics symposium.
2. Any such attempt to prevent a friend or associate from going to a physics symposium.

1. Damn, Johnny just totally quarkblocked his roommate. Ass.
2. OK, Isaac's headed toward the door with some notes on particle physics and our Halo scrim is on in fifteen minutes. We're going to have to attempt a quarkblock.

Get the quarkblock mug.The geeks' version of cock block. Quark Block is where your friend prevents you from a geeky act that he wanted to take.
Wu Ping: Hey why didn't you tell me about that physics seminar Steven Hawkins was delivering in town yesterday?
Matt: Ooops.... guess I forgot.
Wu Ping: expect me to believe that? You totally quark blocked me and went for it by yourself.

Get the quark block mug.
Get the qwarking mug.The most powerful species of all sea dragons. It is also the most feared. Quarkagons are white with blue eyes.
