Quantum! the Strange Science of the Smallest Stuff in the Universe

What is the very smallest thing you can think of? A grain of sand? What about an atom? Every object and every living thing-from the biggest star to a speck of dust-is made of atoms. But even atoms are made up of smaller particles, and inside those smaller particles, you'll find quarks! Quarks are the smallest thing there is, but they make a big impact on our universe. From the Big Bang, supernovas, and black holes to the chips inside your computer, quarks have seen it all.
