Since a quark is said to have 0 size and has mass. would that mean that its density is infinite? (D=m/V). How would this work? what does this imply?
Density and massive particles with 0 size
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of quarks, which are fundamental particles with zero size but possess mass. The equation for density (D=m/V) raises questions about the implications of infinite density for such particles. Participants conclude that the term "density" is not applicable to quarks due to their unique properties and the limitations of classical physics in describing them.
