Quarks inside protons and neutrons.

[kaeksen]

In the early universe the quarks where moving freely.
So I am wondering how did the quarks enter the protons and neutrons shell/wall after the temperature where ok for it to happen?
Or, how did the protons and neutrons encapsulate the quarks?

Protons and Neutrons aren't "Capsules" for the quarks. The quarks literally are what make up Protons and Neutrons. The combining of 3 quarks together makes either of those 2 particles. UUD for a proton, UDD for a neutron. Imagine an atom. It is made up of electrons in orbitals around a nucleus. The protons, neutrons, and electrons aren't "inside" the atom, they ARE the atom.

Ok, understand, thx.
Is there anything else to add.
Like what properties the uud and udd gives the atom? Please explain each [uud & udd] properties apart. If this is even possible to know. Ie uud gives rightspin quarks and udd leftspin quarks (these are just examples)
Then explain how all the quarks act together. If possible.
Sorry if I am terrible to explain, I am norwegian and my english sucks.

Protons and Neutrons are made up of 3 quarks each. A proton is made up of 2 Up quarks and 1 Down quark. A neutron is made up of 1 Up quark and 2 down quarks. Up quarks have a charge of +2/3 while Down quarks have a charge of -1/3. This results in a +1 charge for Protons and a neutral charge for Neutrons.

Ok, so what do the +1 in the proton and the neutral do to the atom. Do it controll something outside the proton/neutrons?
That link doesn't seem to answer that, do you have any own theories about that..

PS. All of these articles appear to be in the Norwegian Wikipedia if that is easier for you.

Its okey, thanks for the links.
Any personal touch on this subject?

No, this is all very basic textbook stuff.
