https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra%E2%80%93ket_notation I remember learning about this at uni in one of the more advanced QM modules. I remember thinking: Seriously, couldn't they've come up with a better name?
The word "quark" is kind of whimsical, but the names of the types of quark seem arbitrary and unhelpful.
it is strange that you have such a charming notion about the flavours of quarks. If we turn this notion upside down maybe we could then get to the bottom of this or should i say the top?
I'll see myself out
