If we cool down a small sample of atoms and see bose-einstein condensation,
and so the speed of the atoms is slowed down dramatically,
what can we say about the speed of the sub-atomic particles
(quarks etc..), do we know how their speed is being changed?

I guess that a large part of the atoms being in the ground state doesn't effect the velocity of the atoms constituents...?!

The speed of subatomic particles such as quarks is not directly affected by Bose-Einstein condensation. Condensation occurs at extremely low temperatures, close to absolute zero, and only affects the behavior of atoms on a macroscopic scale. The subatomic particles within the atoms, including quarks, are still moving at incredibly high speeds, even at these low temperatures. The speed of these particles is determined by their energy and interactions with other particles, and is not significantly impacted by the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation. Therefore, we cannot say for certain how the speed of subatomic particles is being changed in this scenario. More research and experimentation is needed to fully understand the effects of Bose-Einstein condensation on the behavior of subatomic particles.
