The number of quarks increased with discoveries of new particles and have reached 6

For unknown reasons Nature created 3 copies (generations) of quarks and leptons Charm came as

Matter and Antimatter Matter and Antimatter

The first

generation is what we are made of

Antimatter was created together with matter

during the “Big bang”

Antiparticles are created at accelerators in ensemble with

particles but the visible Universe does not contain antimatter
