Imagine spending billions on particle accelerators, dedicating your entire career to quantum field theory, and then getting emotional over something that exists for 0.0000000000000000000001 seconds. That's particle physics for you! These exotic particles are basically the ghosts of the subatomic world—now you see them, now you don't—but that split-second confirmation is enough to make a physicist ugly-cry with joy. It's like finding a unicorn that disappears before you can even take a selfie with it, but still counts for your PhD thesis!
