21Elementary ParticlesAn Embarrassment of Riches
Beginning with the discovery of the electron in
1898, physicists encountered an increasing array
of so-called elementary particles. It became
evident to physicists in the 1960s that these
particles must themselves be combinations of
deeper fundamental particles.

22The Origin of Quark Theory
1929-
In the early 1960s, Gell-Mann and others
proposed the Quark Theory to explain the
elementary particles and their interactions in
terms of 3 deeper fundamental particles called
quarks. Further developments have shown there
are actually 6 different quarks and their
corresponding anti-quarks. The quarks and their
properties have been given whimsical names like
charm that have no physical significance.
Murray Gell-Mann tookthe name quark from "Three
quarks for musterMark", in James Joyce'sbook
Finnegan's Wake.(1963) (Nobel Prize 1969)
