Geeky girl - The Loneliest Particle at the Party

Elementary particles are the building blocks of our universe, each with its own unique quirks. Quarks, for example, come in six different "flavors," and photons are the speedy, massless carriers of light. There are fermions that follow the Pauli Exclusion Principle, meaning they can never occupy the same quantum state, while bosons can happily pile up together like it's a cosmic cuddle pile. These subatomic players, with their peculiar properties and roles, form the fundamentals of physics. And honestly, they make way more sense to me, Zoe, than the people at this party, who all seem to think that talking about their Instagram follower count is peak conversation.
