So they've made plush toys in the shape of microbes and pathogens. Cool. Next they're going to commercialize on subatomic particles (since no one holds the patent on them) and turn them into stuffed toys too.
Wait, someone has already done that.
Welcome to Particle Zoo. They're--according to the website--hand-made subatomic particle plushies from the standard model of physics and beyond. Beyond, meaning you don't just get the usual electron, proton, neutron, for that will be terribly boring.
Apparently there are other subatomic particles out there which you may have heard during your college physics classes, assuming you didn't doze off from the aircon and the nice comfortable chairs and the fact that there's 300 of you in the auditorium so how can the professor single you out?
But back to the Particle Zoo stuffed toys. There's dark matter, tachyon, quarks (bottom, top, strange, charm, up--their differences, I don't know), higgs boson, tau-neutrino, muon, tau, etc--all turned into cute, not to mention geeky plush toys.
Particle Zoo obviously look nothing like the real subatomic particles they're supposed to be imitating (unlike the GIANTmicrobes plush toys), but they make up for it in the weight department. Particle Zoos plushies have weights according to their real counterpart's mass--so you can line them from lightest to heaviest (after you arrange the GIANTmicrobes from trifling bother to lethal).
