How were quarks occurred ?
(in the early universe)

Quarks were first theorized in the 1960s by physicists Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig to explain the behavior of subatomic particles. The existence of quarks was confirmed in 1968 when experiments at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center produced evidence of their existence.
Quarks are believed to be fundamental particles, meaning they have no internal structure. They are thought to be point-like particles with no size or shape, and they are the building blocks of protons and neutrons.
Quarks interact through the strong nuclear force, which is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. This force holds quarks together to form particles like protons and neutrons. Quarks also interact through the weak nuclear force and electromagnetism.
No, quarks cannot be observed directly because they are confined within particles and cannot exist in isolation. They can only be studied through high-energy particle accelerators and other experiments.
Quarks are the building blocks of protons and neutrons, which make up the nucleus of atoms. They also play a crucial role in the formation of other particles, such as mesons and baryons. Without quarks, the structure of matter as we know it would not exist.
