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.
