Top Quark Structure

Third-Generation Up-Type | Mass: ~173 GeV/c² | Charge: +2/3 e
Quadruple Nested Cage Structure: The top quark is the heaviest fundamental particle, with a central +qCP surrounded by FOUR nested hybrid cages: tetrahedral (4 vertices), icosahedral (12 vertices), dodecahedral (20 vertices), and fullerene (60 vertices). A polarized qDP cloud (negative poles inward) and an orbiting emDP system outside all cages provides 1/2 ℏ spin. The fullerene cage alone adds ~169 GeV to the mass!

The Mass Giant: Why 78,636× Heavier than Up?

Exponential Mass Scaling: Each additional cage layer compounds the binding energy:

• Up (0 cages): 2.2 MeV — bare minimum structure

• Charm (2 cages): 1.27 GeV — 577× heavier

Top (4 cages): 173 GeV — 78,636× heavier!

The fullerene's 60-vertex complexity dominates, creating massive DP Sea polarization. Lifetime: only ~5×10⁻²⁵ seconds!
