Fascinating reasearch, the real question is, have we found all the different flavors of them, or are there still some out there at higher energy levels we haven't yet discovered?

Possibly mph, but will those particles be quarks, or have we found all of those?
And yes I did, I was reading my own thread title and I misread it as 'Quarks' so I though "how perfect"... except I didn't want to dobie my own thread, so I comprimised and used a different sn.
quote: Quark Sing-a-long Written by Lynda Williams For Jefferson National Lab Bring Our Daughters to Work Day. (refrain) Up, Down, Charm, Strange, Top and Bottom! The World is made up of Quarks and Leptons! Up, Down, Charm, Strange,Top and Bottom! Yum! Yum!
Quarks come in six flavors They live in families of two. Up Down, Charm Strange, Top and Bottom! They come in anti-flavors too!
Each family makes a generation between which is a mass gap. The up quark is the lightest and the top quark is the most fat!
The second and third generations do not live for very long. That's why everything in the Universe is made up of Ups and Downs!
(refrain)
Quarks carry a color charge. They come in red, green and blue. You'll never see a quark all by itself cuz they stick together with a strong force glue.
Quarks carry electric charge. A fraction of electricity. Quarks combine together so the total charge is a multiple of unity!
An up, up down makes a proton for a total charge of plus one. A down, up, down makes a DUD neutron!
