    The superposition of schreodinger's cat produces a sum of zero cats, but rarely produces a dog.

    These videos are awesome! Where else could you get 2 hour explainers on specific individual phenomena such as strange quarks which are usually just skimmed over? Amazing! PS Would like to see a deep dive on just the Z boson & how electroweak works.

    Not just a 3rd quark... there are 6 quarks total.. up, down and the other 4 are actually heavier versions of up and down... These heavier quarks can only exist in extreme pressure and Gravity. They decay extremely fast without pressure... when they decay they become normal up or down quarks...
