Introduction The world we perceive is built from atoms – those seemingly simple building blocks taught in school. But zoom in further, and the picture gets much more complex. Electrons whirl around a dense nucleus made of protons and neutrons, and within that nucleus, even more mysteries unfold. Let's dive into the strange and fascinating realm of subatomic particles. Quantum Weirdness and the Heart of the Atom  - Electrons don't orbit like planets. They exist as probability waves described by quantum numbers, buzzing around the nucleus in specific energy states.  - The nucleus itself is ruled by the powerful strong nuclear force, keeping protons and neutrons incredibly tightly packed despite the repulsive electric force between protons. This force decays rapidly with distance, explaining why it's undetectable outside the nucleus. A Zoo of Particles and the Limits of Theory  - High-energy experiments revealed a whole menagerie of subatomic particles beyond the familiar few
