Pixar has released 31 movies. How many can you name?
In 3 minutes, try to type the symbol for each chemical element.
Name the 10 elements in the periodic table whose names are 5 letters long or less.
There are 11 elements that are gases at room temperature. Can you name them?
I appreciate your suggestion regarding 'gamma', but within physics, the 'γ' is used to describe photons as a whole and not merely gamma rays (the 1905 discovery of photons by Einstein should be sufficient to lead to 'photons', while gamma rays—discovered by Rutherford in 1900 and which, admittedly, also use the 'γ' symbol—are not a larger class of elementary subatomic particles).
I have some suggestions for improvement. First, the standard model includes two particles you've left out:
- tau-minus: elementary(lepton) 1975 Perl
- gluon: elementary(boson) 1978
In two cases, 1905(Einstein) and 1964(Gell-Mann), you're conflating a successful model with experimental discovery. I suggest using only experimental discovery, as there are many other successful models you did not include. So
- gamma: elementary(boson) 1902 Lenard
- u: elementary(quark) 1968
- d: ... 1968
- s: ... 1947
Wikipedia lists discovery of the pi as Chowdhuri and Bose 1942. I've noticed this is a point of cultural pride among some people of South Asian extraction, so I strongly suggest you fix this.
Finally, many physical properties are quantized, so for gamma,W,Z,g,H-zero I suggest restricting their labels to elementary(boson).
