what does the "u" and "d" mean inside the quarks?

I'm considering particles that have negative mev/c^2 as well as up or down spin which I write as negative spin.

Up and Down quarks.
There's 6 quarks, as far as we know at least.
The energy that holds them together is where most of the "energy" of everything even is.
The MAJORITY of the energy in every single atom is the binding energies just in protons and neutrons.
That's the energy that makes nukes possible. The actual physical mass of the particles is tiny in comparison to the energy that binds them together. Literally over 99% in fact, most of it is binding energies.
When you see these models of atoms in science illustrations, it's best to think of those "shells", the surfaces, as the extent of the fields, because atoms, for the most part, are completely empty spaces.
By comparison, there's less mass in an atom if it was scaled up to the size of our solar system or vice versa, the density of mass is absolutely fucking tiny in atoms.

This brings up a very interesting point in itself - you've never touched anything in your life, in the literal sense.
The fields in atoms prevent you from doing so.
Well okay, that's exaggeration, sometimes it does happen, but so infrequently.
It's equally possible that you could slap your entire hand right through a table but it's so uncommon for the sync of atoms to line up to even get close to that level of penetration.
It's so unlikely that it has likely never happened once in the entire age of the universe.
We might be able to figure out how to do that one day. Some think we already have and governments did it with some boat using Einsteins field equations.

Something important to remember about quantum mechanics and things like the double slit experiements is that it's not "like" the particle passes through both slits.
That is what actually happens.
That is the underlying reality.
This idea where everything isn't happening everywhere all the time is some quirk of observation.

It's even crazier than that.
A lot of people, some even in QM industries, don't realize the full reality of what actually happens.
Those waves going through the slits aren't the only place they go, they go behind its own source, they can travel to fucking Mars and back, and honestly, the full extent of how those waves propagate is not known to us yet.
This is what enables quantum entanglement and as far as we can tell, the influence of that connection essentially puts its speed of "influence" at 10,000 times the speed of light. (experiment that had QE done between Earth and the ISS, most recent test on it I believe)
Information itself, useful information, cannot be gleamed from that in any way we know, but that's what it is. The universe allows for this.
Einstein would be doing 1080s in his grave at the thought of seeing the full extent of entanglement, he hated the thought hardcore in his time

Events are connected by probability, not causality.

We just are stuck in a region of reality where causality is highly probable.
