A quark is one of the smallest components of this world. Today, I’ll be focusing on one

quark, assuming that it travels whenever something travels with something else.

This quark started off on a leaf. Over time, it traveled to a small insect, then a bird’s

stomach. The quark came out of the bird before landing on a car windshield. The bird

droppings were cleaned on a rag, which later touched water after being washed, and

now the quark is down the drain.

Of course, the quark didn’t stay in the sewage for long. It later traveled to the and got

stuck on a small boat. This quark stuck on the side of the boat, and when the sailor was

getting off, he touched the side in admiration leaving the quark stuck on his finger.

That day, the quark traveled the most. The sailor touched a fork at a restaurant, which

touched the waitress, who drove home right after her shift. The quark stayed on the

waitress for quite some time, until he was left on the steering wheel of the waitress’s

car.

You must get the idea now; the quark can travel from a leaf to a boat to a steering

wheel in just a few days. But what if the quark was as old as the universe? Where could

it be now? It could be on another leaf, your phone, the grass, or even your face.
