Favorite Quark Flavor?

lol

[MajinVegeta]

lol:D

 

If you don't mind my being so curious, I was wondering...

is there a characteristic about quarks that make you like a specific one? I just guessed on the poll, by choosing "strange"

[CHRISCUNNINGHAM]

I like Charm, it has a bit of an apple taste to it....

[Radical Edward]

I thought the flavours were up down charm and peppermint

 

I went for top. I figure that if I had more top quarks me gf would complain less about me being underweight

[fafalone]

Go charm!

[Dave]

clearly strange quarks rule

[fafalone]

Poor down quarks, no one voted for them

[dluther]

I'm going for charm! lol

[spamonkey8]

hehe, this was in stargate once:

 

Jack: Hey, could you finish this phrase: up, down, charmed, (7-letter word)

DJ: Strange

Jack: Yeah, thanks for trying

DJ: No, the answer is--::hung up on::

[Severian]

Top obviously. Is it probably the large top quark mass which initiates electroweak symmetry breaking.

[Bettina]

I chose strange too only because he isn't always there....It will be interesting to hear why we chose what we did.

I chose strange because strangelets are awesome

[Severian]

So why is everyone picking strange? (Other than because is is 'awesome'....)

[BigMoosie]

I cant beleive I am the only one to choose down, that quark is down with it dude.

 

How did these names originate btw?

[YT2095]

I voted bottom, `cos it sounds Rude

 

besides, we Brits always support the underdog.

[radiohead]

Down pwns you all. :-D

[TheGeek]

I chose up quark because in my chemistry class we had to do a project on the quark that we get and i was stuck with up. I do see that there are 8 votes (so far) on "What's a quark? (fool)."

 

So here is a link that might help the "fools".
