The quarks inside a proton account for just 1% of its mass. The rest is kinetic energy, gluon force, and virtual particles. Which is to say--only about 1% of *your* mass is "matter" in the conventional sense. You are quantum through and through. 🧪 www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/scie...
In this graphical representation of the proton, the large spheres represent the three valence quarks, the small spheres represent the other quarks that make up the proton, and the springs represent the nuclear force holding them together. Image: Brookhaven National Laboratory.
