1. Murray Gell-Mann
2. Finnegan’s wake
3. Duck
Quarks, named by Gell-Mann after the sound made by ducks, gets its spelling from “Three quarks for Muster Mark!” quote from Finnegan’s wake

Murray Gell-Man (No.1) spelt ‘quark’ from the “three quarks from muster mark” line from Finnegan’s Wake (No.2).
Gell-Mann originally named the quark after quacking of ducks.

Murray Gell-Mann named the quark after a nonsense word in Joyce’s “Finnegan’s Wake”. The duck is there as….. a bad pun on quark and quack?

Quarks – Murray Gell-mann, Finnegan’s Wake and previously ducks – from where Gell-mann took the term.

Murray Gell-Mann named the Quark particle after the quack sound made by ducks,however the exact spelling was decided after reading Finnigan’s Wake.

Murray Gell Mann(1) – coined the term Quark from James joyce’s book Finnegans Wake(2). Dunno 3 maybe Murray Gell Mann’s hobby was bird watching or quark rhymes with quack.

Quark\’s the word!

1. named the Quark after a phrase in 2. that sounds like a sound 3. would make

1-Murray Gell-Man
2-Finnegan’s Wake
3-Duck
Gell-Mann originally named the quark after the sound made by ducks until he found the verse in Finnegan’s Wake.

Murray Gell-Mann (1) proposed the quark model. He initially based it on the sound made by ducks (3), but got the spelling from the word “quark” used in Finnegan’s Wake (2)

1. Murray Gell-Mann who named the sub-nuclear consituents of matter after
3. Onomatopoeic word for the call of the duck and the word was featured in
2. the line “3 quarks for Muster Mark”

Physicist Murray Gell-Mann (Pic 1) named a type of subatomic particle as a quark, after the phrase “Three quarks for Muster Mark” on page 383 of Finnegans Wake,[219] as he already had the sound “kwork”.
The duck is probably something to do with Quarks….Quacks….

etymology of Quark. Although, Gell Mann first named the particles after the sound made by ducks, he found the word Quark in finnegan’s wake. And quark it remained.

oh i just saw the id bit- Murray Gell-Mann

Connection is quark. The first picture is Murray Gell-Mann who proposed the model for a quark. The quark is named after the sound that a duck makes but the spelling comes from the book Finnegans wake.
