Standard Model: Update

An Atom is mostly empty space, so's Granddads head. The most direct way to see what’s inside of a fruitcake is to poke your figure in it. Okay, here's what happened ― in earnest. This is only more of granddads new science.  Granddad, after finding out in the days of Rutherford that the method to find what’s inside of an atom required using alpha particles as probes to catch the reaction of the electron and view its spontaneous nature, decided to do the same in finding the nuts & currant construct in grandma’s new fruitcake that was set for Sunday supper, so with all eyes in the downward direction and mind on the lord, he went for it.  Hence the supper prayer was unheard for all the hollering that took place upon the incident and with all the ruckus over the table and the gravy boat flowing in the sweet peas, the kids just dove in and no one was grateful to be there.  Granddad should've desired less in experimentation and implementation, for when he come a fingerin that cake, he got caught directly, and a cuff did occur ― instantaneously he had foiled the entire dinner.  There were mishaps in the days of Earnest Rutherford too.  He expected that probe to go right through that fancy gold foil with no deflection off target; not a chance, hence the mess inside that fruitcake when Granddad got caught.  In Rutherford’s experiment those alpha particles was 8,000x’s heavier than the electron itself.  Most of the particles indeed were not strayed; a few scattered through large angles and some were even scattered in the backward direction – just like Granddad’s finger that came out with the targeted currant.   If Granddad had only known then what I know today, and here it is, Earnest Rutherford himself telling the story of the miscreation that did occur back in 1911, pert near word-for-word of Granddad’s same ol'story.  And I quote:  “It was as incredible, as if you had fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you in the [danged] face.”   Granddad tried and failed, and who could blame a good science man – that fruitcake was filled with a yearning currant delight.   Grandma wasn't mad long though, and after all was said and done, it did lead to some newfangled nonsense in “heard tell about” of how she distributed granddad some nuts after hours, and in 1920 Earnest Rutherford proposed the name proton for the positively charged particles in the nucleus of an atom. Amen.
