Why is it called quark?

1964, American physicists Murray gherman and G Zweig independently proposed that hadrons such as neutrons and protons are composed of quarks, a more basic unit. They have fractional charge, which is 2/3 times that of elementary charge or-1/3 times, and their spin is 1/2. The word quark is taken from James Joyce's novel A Night Sacrifice in finnigan, written by gherman. This is the "set mark of three quarks". Quarks have many meanings in this book, one of which is the sound of seabirds. He thinks this is suitable for his original strange idea that "elementary particles are not fundamental and elementary charge is not an integer", and he also points out that this is just a joke and a resistance to pretentious scientific language. In addition, it may be because of his love for birds.
