This comes from Kaku's Beyond Einstein
Referring to this chart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Standard_Model_of_Elementary_Particles.svg
there are about 16 particles in the standard model of particle physics, not counting the anti particles. I'm assuming that that list of particles covering 2000 pages was eventually shown that many particles are the same. correct me if I'm wrong.
By 1960, there were so many particles that a considerably expanded almanac, including a wallet card, was published. By 1995, the list was expanded to over 2,000 pages, describing hundreds of particles
