How can a proton involve a particle heavier than a proton?



"The proton isn't just made of three valence quarks, but rather contains a substructure that is an intricate and dynamic system of quarks (and antiquarks) and gluons inside. The nuclear force acts like a spring, with negligible force when unstretched but large, attractive forces when stretched to large distances. To the best of our understanding, the proton is a truly stable particle, and has never been observed to decay, while the quarks and gluons composing it show no evidence of compositeness."(BigThink,Ask Ethan: Are there really charm quarks inside the proton??

 In the 1980s. Reseachers thought the proton involved three quarks. Those three main quarks are two up quarks and one down quark. But today reseachers know. There are more than three quarks. In. The proton. Protons are complicated dynamic entities. That complex dynamical structure can explain why the proton cannot decay. Nobody has seen spontaneous proton decay.  And this leads to an interesting idea. There is a possibility. 

The proton’s internal structure. It acts like a quantum version of time crystals. This means. That maybe the proton’s internal structure recycles all the energy in that particle. This means that the proton cannot decay because there is no energy loss. 

This allows the time crystal’s wobble to continue “forever”. But then to the charm quark. That quark was found inside protons. The charm quark is more massive than a proton. So, how could it be in the proton? The charm quark hovers in the proton’s sphere. And maybe the proton’s quantum fields are so strong. They don’t let energy escape through that structure. That brings interesting ideas. 


In my brain. If. There is a particle inside a proton. That spins at extremely high speed. That thing could make the particle invisible. The idea is that a fast-spinning object is in the proton. Or in some other particles. It could pull all the energy from the quantum field into its fast-spinning particle. 

This means that. If. there is structure in another particle. It can turn both particles invisible. The idea is that if the center particle spins very fast. It can pull all radiation into that structure. And in that case. it can bind as much energy. So there is no visible reflection in that kind of case. This is one thing. That is introduced as dark matter particles, WIMPs. In that model, another particle. Spins inside the regular elementary particle, invisible. 

Another particle can make matter invisible. A photon that spins in the electron or proton. And starts to spin very fast. That can cause a situation. It pulls all energy into that structure. And that makes particles or other objects invisible. To people who follow them.  From outside. These kinds of things can be repeated. Using laboratories. If that structure exists. That. Can make all particles invisible. And explain dark matter. That could be hiding in the well-known particles.
