Quirks are different than Quarks. They are both strange but there six different types of Quarks. Not to be confused with Quacks. As far as I know neither Quirks or Quarks like to be called Quacks.:smile:

To start with, there are six types of quarks (plus their six antiquarks), which are coupled into three pairs. They are the up-down, the charm-strange, and the top-bottom (sometimes known as truth-beauty). Another interesting fact about quarks is that you can never find one by itself, as they are always with other quarks arranged to form a composite particle.

I didn't even know that there were antiquarks.laugh
