What do you think a quark looks like? They are smaller than photons (light particles) so you can't really "see" them. Do you think they would have some sort of color? What about their shape?

There are reports that if a hurricane were heading towards New York City, it would be necessary to evacuate millions of people very quickly. Why would it be necessary to evacuate at all? Perhaps it is necessary for those in wooden houses that live on coasts, but what about apartment buildings made out of concrete and/or steel. Wouldn't it be safer for those residents to remain in place at their homes?
