In appreciation for Carroll\u2019s whimsy and enchanting perspective (one of few authors to title a chapter \u201cThe Lobster Quadrille\u201d), we thought we\u2019d take a few minutes to consider other truly unique discoveries, talents, places, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Quarks: Fundamental particles that combine to form composite particles.
