Cultural Literacy WOD was Quark: Quarks and electrons are the tiniest particles. There are three quarks in every proton and three in every neutron, and protons and neutrons are the pieces of an atom. We can't see a quark, even with an electron microscope, but we know they must exist because that's the only way to explain what happens when scientists do certain experiments.
