In particle physics, bosons are subatomic particles which obey Bose–Einstein statistics. Several bosons can occupy the same quantum state. The word boson derives from the name of Satyendra Nath Bose.
Bosons contrast with fermions, which obey Fermi–Dirac statistics. Two or more fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state.

Strange matter is a particular form of quark matter, usually thought of as a ‘liquid’ of up, down, and strange quarks. It is to be contrasted with nuclear matter, which is a liquid of neutrons and protons (which themselves are built out of up and down quarks), and with non-strange quark matter, which is...

Everyone has heard that electrons, protons, and neutrons are the ultimate constituents of matter, and that they cannot be divided further. Is that true? Not after the nineteen sixties!
(The picture on the left shows an early version of particle accelerators. It is in particle accelerators that they study protons and neutrons).

Dr. Johnson C. Philip is an expert in High Energy Particle physics, and has done his research on the inner quark structure of protons and neutrons.
Smashing or taking apart a thing to explore it is usually done by curious children, but not always. Even self-respecting scientist on the cutting edge of physics also...
