Quark puzzle
ark puzzle is a novel approach to visualizing the color symmetries of quarks with a set of 3D printable pieces. Each piece is labelled with a quark type, electric charge and colour charge, and has joints that allow it to connect to other quark pieces. These can be used to discover the rules of the…
