You should have added two paragraph breaks at points that make sense, because those are very encouraging to the potential reader and can make a text that looks very daunting en bloc appear much more manageable.

Also, I wanted to make a quick correction on what I said. We interact with ~19 fundamental particles in our everyday life, not 28. I accidentaly included all the quarks instead just the first three. Hence the mistake.

Good night.

Do you count color multiplicities separately there? 3v+e+mu+3u+3d+8g, right...

I was thinking more of 3v+e+mu+3u+3d+3s+8g+2W = 24. Damn, I cannot do math when its late.
