El quark restante, conocido como quark cima, o quark t, es crucial para la teoría electrodébil. La partícula no se ha descubierto, pero creemos que existe y suponemos que es demasiado masiva para haberse creado en nuestros aceleradores. 2, record 1, Spanish, - cuark%20cima

cuark cima: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que aunque puede haber algunas variaciones, los seis "cuarks" postulados y detectados por los físicos reciben los nombres de "arriba", "abajo", "encanto", "extraño", "cima" y "fondo", que permanecen invariables en aposición: los "cuarks arriba". Las formas españolas, ampliamente usadas, son preferibles a las inglesas "up", "down", "charm", "strange", "top" y "bottom". 1, record 1, Spanish, - cuark%20cima
