I am somewhat surprised you should have found in necessary to ask such a question when it appears that along with neutrons, protons make up the nucleus, held together by the strong force. The proton is a baryon and is considered to be composed of two up quarks and one down quark; do you dispute this hypothesis, or does it even make sense?
Do the ups and downs of life ever make sense?
You know that I can surely attest that especially when you're going through 'em they sure don't?!
What are you talking about?
The ups & downs rhymer was inquiring about, don'tcha know?
Me neither, but should I develop the skill?
Wouldn't it be a useful skill to have?
Do you have a better idea?
Are you willing to answer?
