Three quarks for Muster Murray!

A conversation with Murray Gell-Mann at home


In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Santa Fe Institute and Murray Gell-Mann's eightieth birthday, TSN visited Murray at home to discuss life, the universe and everything.

Murray named the quark after the sound made by ducks.  He took the spelling from a line in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake:

Three quarks for Muster Mark!
Sure he has not got much of a bark
And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.
