How the game teaches physics
Each time you discover a particle, you unlock its real-world properties: mass (MeV/GeV), charge (e), spin, and which interaction(s) it participates in (strong / EM / weak). Mini-quizzes reinforce these ideas.
Prestige
Reset to gain Prestige from your Papers. Prestige increases Data gains permanently, representing better detectors and collaboration scale.
