Frequently Asked Questionsedit

Aren't atoms the smallest?edit

No. Before Quantum Physics, we thought that Atoms were the smallest 'indivisible' particles. But this is wrong, atoms are made of subatomic particles. The electron, is already a fundamental particle, a Lepton. The Protons and Neutrons are made up of combinations of Quarks.
