Neutrons and protons,which constitutes the atomic nuclei are collectively called nucleons. Until the 1960s, the nucleons were thought to be elementary particles. Now they are known to be composite particles, each made of three quarks bound together by a force called the strong force.Protons and neutrons are most important and best known for constituting atomic nuclei, but they can also be found on their own, not part of a larger nucleus.Both the proton and neutron are made of three quarks. The proton is made of two up quarks and one down quark, while the neutron is one up quark and two down quarks. The quarks are held together by the strong force. It is also said that the quarks are held together by gluon s, but this is just a different way to say the same thing (gluons mediate the strong force).
To know more about the theories related to the beginning of the universe it is necessary to understand the principle of the elementary particles.
This is the very concept of Sattva,Rajas & Tamas mentioned in most of the Hindu Scriptures esp. Bhagavad Gita....& this is the concept of Tri-Murthis namely Brahma,Vishnu & Shiva...while Brahma represents Rajas,Vishnu represents Sattva & Shiva represents Tamas...
