i was just wondering if there's anything smaller than a quark because as far as i know up, down, anti-, etc. quarks make up the universe.
The smallest known particle is the quark, which makes up protons and neutrons. Quarks are estimated to be about 10^-18 meters in size.
No, quarks are currently believed to be the smallest particles in the universe. However, some theories suggest the existence of even smaller particles, such as preons.
No, we cannot see particles smaller than atoms with our current technology. These particles are too small to be detected by light or even electron microscopes.
Scientists use various methods such as particle accelerators and mathematical models to study and understand the behavior of particles smaller than atoms.
Yes, particles smaller than atoms are essential for understanding the fundamental building blocks of matter and the laws of physics that govern our universe.
