Indeed, even Nobel Laureate Murray Gell-Mann, of Caltech, who hypothesized quarks in 1962, had doubts that their existence could ever really be confirmed...
...which theoreticians said should be either one-third or two-thirds of those of electrons. Whether the fractional charges measured by the Stanford scientists actually indicate the presence of quarks remains to be seen. But if quarks have indeed been found, their discovery will provide stunning verification of Gell-Mann's brilliant theory about the ultimate structure of matter...
