Right, these bonuses are on the standard model of particle physics. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
First, which specific fundamental particle of the standard model | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
has an electric charge of plus one | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
and a mass energy of 105.7 million electron volts? | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
I think in the structure of a proton, it's either two up quarks | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
