  • Toc: Content: Introduction: a century of particle charges the electron - the quantum of electricity mass - E=mc" and all that the photon - no charge, no mass the spin - if it's round, it rolls antimatter - a mirror image the nucleus - a whole new ball game the strong force I - nucleons the weak force - a whisper in the night the strong force II - hadrons the quark - the queen of fractions the origin of quarks and gluons epligoue - m-re quarks, more leptons and more charges. Appendices: annotated chronology powers of ten Nobel prizes in physics.
