What is your favorite sub-atomic particle?

[TheRightToArmBears]

The charm quark obviously.


Well, actually the top quark is kinda cool because it's the most massive. It's got a mass that's about the same as a tungsten atom, it's a boss.

 

[Heronblade]

Photons, though not for the reasons most will see (pun pseudo intended)

Photons thus far have proven to be easier to entangle than other particles. Quantum entanglement in turn may be the key to FTL communication and processing speeds that make our present supercomputers look like an abacus.

 

[Imthatguy]

Positron... gotta love the explosive goodness that it make when exposed to an electron.

 

[Patrick Buck]

I like Quarks. Becuase I'm pretty certain there was a Dr Who monster named after them.
Classic Dr Who <3
New Dr Who </3

 

[Xixikal]

Neutrons, cause they're big and they just chill - they're like fencesitters, because don't pick a side even though they're friends with electrons and protons

 

[Redingold]

The charm quark, for being so very charming.

Also, a meson composed of a charm and an anticharm can be referred to as "charmonium", which is one of the best words I've ever heard.

 

[Spectral Dragon]

Photons, definitely. Followed by tachyons for their wide uses in the fields of science fiction. Though photons are just so... Mysterious, and magnificent. Plus, light. That's pretty nice right there. Go photons!

 

[WoW Killer]

Up Quark's just woken up with tent-syndrome. Bottom Quark's a bit derpy. Tau-Neutrino says "Oh, stop it you!". Tau might be on bath-salts.

I quite like the sound of the Charm Quark. Sounds like a sir.

 

[ManimalR]

The charm quark, because I like its name

 

[Akisa]

I would have have to say Higgs Boson...

 

[Ljs1121]

The electron. Gotta go with the classics.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Photon.

I like their style and efficiency.

 

[Karthesios]

I vote for neutrons, the cue balls of nuclear physics.

 

[zehydra]

I like the Moron particle

 

[xXGeckoXx]

Neutrino's are pretty cool. Strangelets are awesome but I think my favorite is just the electron since I am into chemistry, It does lotsa funky stuff with light that is always mind blowing.

 

[Daverson]

"I like to say 'Quark'. Quark quark quark quark."

Honestly though, probably Mesons. Because they aren't quite Matter, but they aren't quite anti-matter either! D=

(I heard an interesting theory once, that mathematically we're actually an anti-matter universe and we call "plain" matter anti-matter because we discover actual anti-matter first.)

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Tachyon of course. It moves faster than light, back in time, through cloaking devices, basically whatever you want it to do.

 

[Terratina.]

Quarks!

They come in sooo many flavours.

(I heard an interesting theory once, that mathematically we're actually an anti-matter universe and we call "plain" matter anti-matter because we discover actual anti-matter first.)

But they're the exact opposite so that makes absolutely no difference. Like North and South.
