text: when you matter is broken down into its smallest particles, what happens?   actually the so called quarks are made up of the same material as the electrons protons and neutrons. it is not the smallest particle and does not move outside the atom. its a piece of the atomic components which was broken off by use of colliders. hence its a useless particle.  the smallest particle of the universe is what i call a "quantron "because it is the most dense basic mass particle. this particle mass was calculated to be 7.37* 10^-51 kilogram and makes up the substance of every elementary atomic particles. the difference is that it cannot be broken to piece by natural means whereas the quark can still be broken down.   it is the particle responsible for radio signal transmission. it is not visible under an electron microscope. the particle is invisible. guess what it really is?
