So, I have about Quark charge in fractions (2/3, -1/3) As far as I know, these fractional charges and their effects on magnetic fields have not been tested as Quarks generally do not exist as single particles with fractional charge but combined as Hadrons or other particles with integer charge, or for very short periods of time. My questions is, is it possible that Quarks do not actually have these fractional charges but that only when combined as a structure in another particle is an integer charge realized? In other words, is it possible that Quarks do not interact in the electromagnetic way in any sense but that together as other particles, that quality is changed? This is, in a sense, analogous to the fact that some particles, by their nature, do not interact with the theoretical Higgs Field and thus do not have intrinsic mass while some do. The mechanics behind what gives certain particles the ability and requirement to interact with certain fields but I believe that could answer the question I have posed.
I also have a question I ask out of interest to avoid starting another thread because it seems that everyone forms ideas of gravity in a different manner, whether mathematical or visual. There are only so many ways to image a tendency for objects to "feel" other objects with an inverse square relationship to the distance.
I try not to imagine Gravity as a force, but merely a result of the existence of the object or planet as it distorts spacetime, which, I know, sounds fairly standard. I will add that I visualize a 3-dimensional slope within a 4-dimensional space as objects "fall" down this slope toward the object. The slope being of magnitude 2X ((d)x^2) times various constants including mass. This can also be visualized as a gradient darkening closer to the source.
