most likely a neutron

nucleus-located particle with neutral charge (between positive and negative)

Or some kinda quark. Thosr are nucleus located too

quarks are to neutrons and protons what neutrons and protons are to their atoms

gonna assume we're probably talking about an elementary particle, so either quark or lepton. the criteria for composite fermions is... complex.

all protons and neutrons are made of the lil guys

from what i've read larger particles can also count as fermions

Yes rhey can!

Question! Has the aliem text in this vid been translated? http://www.rprepository.com/community/newspost.php?post=529

given the 'outside its customary location' clue, it might be referencing free neutrons

I assume one would have to mirror it horizontally before translating

Yes, it was the answer to one of the nodes on the blue booster

Haaa cute!

Theres a pentagon there too. I wonder if that's important? Gyahh, i am braindead after this weekend

I think the pentagon may not mean anything given our current clues? But of course it can't be ruled out yet.

You could be right! It just seemed very prominent.

Removing neutrons from the nucleus of an atom is a form of radioactive decay (that free neutron decay you posted!).

Adding and removing neutrons from atoms is actually how we get some really dangerous or unique radioactive isotopes! (Carbon-14 is how we do radioactive dating and it's super neat)

Neutrons outside the nucleus decay really fast, so maybe it's going for the specific time of decay? Or even the half life of a neutron?

I'm not sure, I'm pretty stumped on this one!
