The ultimate particle physics bamboozle! In quantum chromodynamics, quarks have "color charges" (red, green, blue) that have absolutely nothing to do with actual colors. It's just physicists being trolls with terminology. The cat's shocked expression perfectly captures how students feel when they discover these subatomic particles are "colorful" but not... you know... colorful. The ultimate "wait, that's illegal" moment in physics education.
