Tactile quark puzzle
The Spherical Quark-Puzzle provides a 3D visualisation of the quark model of hadrons and the basic conditions under which quarks form hadrons (e.g. neutrons or protons), as dictated by quantum chromodynamics. As a representation of the SU(3) symmetry, the predisposed symmetry of a platonic solid, the (spherical) dodecahedron is used to build all hadrons from…
