Top Quark - The Biggest Joke In The Standard Model

Particle physics in a nutshell! The top quark (t) swaggers in with "My job here is done" energy despite literally just decaying into a bottom quark (b) and W+ boson. That's literally its entire existence—show up for 5×10-25 seconds and peace out. Imagine getting paid the same as other quarks but working 0.000000000000000000000005% of the time. Talk about workplace inequality. And they wonder why we call it the "Standard Model" and not the "Exceptional Model." Physicists spent billions building colliders just to glimpse this lazy particle for less time than it takes light to cross a proton. Career goals, honestly.
