The quantum world includes muons, which are charged particles about 200 times as massive as electrons.
Gluons hold two protons together and their strength is not a function distance. This is very counter intuitive phenomena.
Quantum mechanics studies the smallest units of matter. QM explains how protons and neutrons and electrons are created, the building blocks of matter. 12 particles make up all matter: quarks, antiquarks, and neutrinos.
The electron can be superpositioned in two places at once. Velocity or position can be known but not a the same time. Position becomes a probability.
Gluon
1. In 1979, evidence of gluons was in the form of three-jet events in particle accelerator experiments
2. Quarks are produced in pairs, the third jet must represent an additional particle. Quantum chromodynamics suggests that this extra particle is a high-energy gluon
3. Gluon mediate strong-force interactions between quarks
