Why did JJ Thomson need to inprove the vacuum in his cathode ray tube?
how to approximately calculate the pressure if one want to do thomson's electric field deflection experiment?
thank you all!

I'd guess that the vacuum wasn't good enough and the electrons kept colliding with air molecules.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
