In the frenzied, fuzzy foam, I barely make out other quarks jittering rapidly around me - we're trapped together in one of those proton bee swarms. My vision clears slightly and I see the proton race track with its speeding quarks encircling me. Backing further out, multitudes of protons and neutrons come into focus, assembled into little solar systems of nuclei with electrons racing around their outsides.
