But let's try anyway. If that insane length was one dollar bill / Then to reach the wavelength of the smallest particles Quarks, that are so fundamental they don't have an inherent size would be the current price you'd gain if you sold Mount Everest made out of gold. That is insane. if you applied the Midas touch to my mind it'd be quite enough to buy a car to drive And the gluons and 3 quarks combined make a large hadron those guys collide; a proton / and to magnify to that size would turn that Midas mountain into a diamond / my mind made of that could buy you an island / and next we ramp up, from quarks and protons
