A quintillion times smaller than you is the strange world of the quarks.

比你小五万亿倍的是奇异的世界。

Henry Kendall, Jerome Friedman, and Richard Taylor for the discovery of quarks.

证存在的亨利·肯德尔，杰罗姆·弗里德曼和理查德·泰勒。

The Universe was a sea of electrons and quarks.

宇宙是电子和的海洋。

Unfortunately hadrons, such as protons and antiprotons, are made of smaller bits called quarks.

不幸的是，强子，比如质子和反质子，是由名为的更小单元所组成的。

But if you twirl it in a different way, it becomes a quark.

但如果你以不同的方式旋转它，它会变成一个。

The details are arcane. But they concern particles called beauty quarks which, themselves, form part of other particles called B-mesons.

细节晦涩难懂。但他们关注的是一种叫做“美”的粒子，这种粒子本身是另一种叫做“B-介子”的粒子的一部分。

Other attempts to better understand antimatter include using CERN's Large Hadron Collider to investigate unusual particles called " beauty quarks."

更好地了解反物质的其他尝试包括使用欧洲核子组织的大型强子对撞机来被称为“美”的不寻常粒子。

And researchers have discovered new so-called exotic matter made from quarks, the smallest particles known to science.

员发现了由制成的新奇异物质，是科学界已知的最小粒子。

Yet, nestling amid the quarks and transistors and the nucleic acids and nanotubes, there is a question.

然而，就在、半导体、核酸和纳米管等 涌现的同时，出现了一个问题。

Now, does anyone know what happens to quarks when we combine them to make mesons and baryons?

有知道当我们把组合成介子和重子时会发生什么吗？

What actually is a quark, what does it look like to human minds?

粒子竟是什么，它在类心目中又是什么样子得呢？

Deeper still you would find quarks, neutrinos and so on and then, just maybe, continuously deeper into infinity.

再往深处，你会发现，中微子等等，然后，也许，不断深入到无限深处。

When beauty quarks decay, the daughter particles produced sometimes include a pair of what are known as charged leptons.

当美衰变时，产生的子粒子有时包含一对所谓的带电轻子。

Impossible to say, because the harder you look for them the more quarks seem to appear.

很难说，因为你越努力寻找，出现的粒子似乎就越多。

Mathematical string theories suggest descriptions of this unification, in addition to a fundamental structure for sub-atomic quarks and electrons.

大爆炸也预测，在早期高温的 宇宙中，我们的基本「力」可能会统一成一股超级力。

And as far as we know, quarks and electrons are basic particles, so they can't be subdivided any more.

据我们所知，和电子是基本粒子，所以它们不能再被细分。

We can ignore the particle masses at the individual quark level. - Correct.

我们可以从个别层级忽略它的粒子质量。 - 正确。

A neutron contains two down quarks and one up.

一个中子包含两个下和一个上。

A proton contains two “up” quarks and one “down” quark.

质子包含两个“上” 和一个“下” 。

But why should that lead to more quarks than antiquarks?

但为什么这会导致多于反呢？
