The upper quark in the second generation of elementary particles, the charm quark has a charge of 2/3. Other than in mass it is similar to the up quark and the top quark.

I like it!

This flavour of quark was predicted by American physicist Sheldon Glashow, who called it charmed because he was so charmed with the solution it supplied to his theoretical subnuclear puzzle.

Snazzy, no?

I like it!
