wrong!

protons and Neutrons are not compsed only of '3 quarks"

th emass of 3 quarks is less than 10 percent of the P N
mass
the rest 90 percent of missing mass
is the 90 percent sameless ignorance of existing scince
people have to impertinace to say that the rest 90 percent missing
is ...

'glueons'
that no one really knowes to fill that abstart say
by any substancial reality or verification
just shamelsss mumble jumble

now listen carefully what old Catto tells you

the missing 90 percent ---is massive subparticles
(there is just one kind of mass !!
no relativistic and no schmelativistic!) --
--that are STILL UNKNOWN!!
so the differnce between real knowledge
and pretended knowledge (and impertinance )
is as far from our galaxy to the neighbouring galaxy !!
and the sonner serious scientists will realize it--
the better
