This afternoon, while my septic tank was being cleaned out (told you there were plumbing problems), I read a news article about a historically "energetic" neutrino field found in the Mediterranean Sea.
This is intrinsically fascinating. The detector is at the bottom of the Mediterranean. This lead me to why the detectors had to be placed underwater. That lead me to a few more articles to explain the new words I was seeing: blazar, lepton, muon, weak isospin. I wound up at a chart that included quarks. Any time you can spend time with quarks is good time.

Septic tank cleaning is always a fun experience around here. The crew that does it is a jolly lot.
I love to go down a rabbit hole on something like this! (quarks not septic tanks!)
