A tough day
July 4th, 20173 hours of lectures today going deeper into particle physics. I will never look at a proton the same way again. You 6th formers and some yr 11 will have heard of quarks. Well a proton is a complex combination of u d quarks, gluons and pairs of any other matter anti matter quarks. All interacting with each other. Very complex.
After a hard day, we are all off to the bowling alley now in our working groups. I will be working with 4 other teachers reviewing and preparing resources for the IPPOG, international particle physics outreach group. Should be fun.
