ASDisclaimer:
This concept comes from modern particle physics and quantum chromodynamics. Most of the mass of protons and neutrons arises from strong force energy, not quark rest mass. The percentages are approximate but supported by lattice QCD calculations and high energy experiments.
What if almost everything you are made of is not solid matter but trapped energy
Inside every proton, quarks contribute only a tiny fraction of the mass. The rest comes from the intense energy of gluons and the motion of quarks bound by the strongest force in nature. In a very real sense, the world around you is energy locked into form. Physics does not just describe reality. Sometimes it completely rewrites how we see ourselves.
