The Mechanical Universe
From Atoms to Quarks. Electron waves confined by electric attraction to the nucleus help resolve the dilemma of the atom and account for the periodic table of the elements. Nucleons themselves obey a kind of period table, following inner rules that lead to the idea of quarks. As to the question of how you can be in two places at once, when you're not anywhere at all, it is left to the reader as an exercise. (from themechanicaluniverse.org)
