Imagine spending YEARS building a particle accelerator the size of a small country, smashing atoms together at near-light speed, and then... *POOF* your precious discovery exists for 0.0000000000000000000001 seconds! 🥲

That's the wild reality of quantum physics! These exotic particles are like that friend who says they'll "definitely show up" to your party but ghosts faster than you can say "Nobel Prize." Physicists literally throw a celebration for something that disappeared before anyone could even take a decent measurement. Talk about commitment issues!
