~Physics Question!
I spend my weekends reading up on quantum physics. Mostly these forums. I find myself flooded with jargon. So I have a quick little question. I am not taking any courses on physics, I am just really interested.
So an atom is:
Election
Proton-----> Made up of quarks
Neutron---> Made up of quarks
Quarks---> held together by fermions using an exchange
Now my question is, where does a boson fit in here? From what I read, a boson is what keeps the electron "in" the atomic structure. But how? I thought one of the 4 forces kept the electrons from flying out into ether.
Also, if I made any mistakes with the quarks and stuff please correct me.
Thank you!
