I want to preface this question by saying that this is not being asked for any apologetic reason or from any pseudo-scientific perspective. This is pure curiosity in the science driving this question.
I have a hard time wrapping my mind around anything when it comes to quantum physics so do bear with me in that regard. I’ve been reading that particles sometimes behave as waves. I’ve also heard some scientists suggest that all particles are are merely manifestations of interactions of various fields.
I don’t understand much about the numbers and the science of any of the above, but it did make me wonder… if we could go down, could we even theoretically ‘touch’ a quark? Is it even something that could be touched? Would it be considered material or would it manifest more like a ball of energy (genuine question, not trying to be pseudo here. If that’s a totally wrong premise, let me know.)?
Or is this speculation a moot point because we can’t actually shrink ourselves to test it? lol
