The diameter of the proton is about as much as a millimetre divided by a thousand billion (10^-15m). Physicists can not yet compare what`s larger: a quark, Higgs boson or an electron. “So we can say that an electron is lighter than a quark, but we can not say that it is smaller than quark” – concludes Prof. Wrochna.

Quarks,and leptons are thought to be elementary particles, that is they have no substructure. So you cannot split them. Quarks are fundamental particles and cannot be split.

And, if you cut them in half, you don’t wind up with a single quark, you get two quark pairs! If you cut the string in half, you don’ get two “one-ended” bits of string, you get two normal strings, because the energy needed to pull them apart becomes two new quarks.

It’s still possible to break it apart, but it’s much more energy costly. The smallest you could break an atom down would be to hydrogen, with one proton, one neutron and one electron. You can isolate electrons, but they cannot be devided.

Scientists’ current understanding is that quarks and gluons are indivisible—they cannot be broken down into smaller components. They are the only fundamental particles to have something called color-charge. The only way to separate these particles is to create a state of matter known as quark-gluon plasma.

Quarks and electrons are the smallest particles known. The following table that shows how many cuts it takes to get to the size of a quark.

Molecules are the chemical building blocks of all body structures. A cell is the smallest independently functioning unit of a living organism.

Planetary scientist and stardust expert Dr Ashley King explains. ‘It is totally 100% true: nearly all the elements in the human body were made in a star and many have come through several supernovas.

The particles we’re made of About 99 percent of your body is made up of atoms of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. If we lost all the dead space inside our atoms, we would each be able to fit into a particle of lead dust, and the entire human race would fit into the volume of a sugar cube.

Types of cells in the human body

According to researchers, the body replaces itself with a largely new set of cells every seven years to 10 years, and some of our most important parts are revamped even more rapidly [sources: Stanford University, Northrup].

In humans, as many as 1011 cells die in each adult each day and are replaced by other cells. (Indeed, the mass of cells we lose each year through normal cell death is close to our entire body weight!)

all matter and psychological processes — thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and attitudes — are composed of energy. When applied to the human body, every atom, molecule, cell, tissue and body system is composed of energy that when superimposed on each other create what is known as the human energy field.

When we die, our atoms will disassemble and move off to finds new uses elsewhere – as part of a leaf or other human being or a drop of dew. Atoms themselves, however go on practically forever.

Death initiates a complex process by which the human body gradually reverts back to dust, as it were. In the language of forensics, decomposition transforms our biological structures into simple organic and inorganic building blocks that plants and animals can use.

4.5 billion years

As a result, the electron is considered a fundamental particle that will never decay.

As we know through thermodynamics, energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It simply changes states. The total amount of energy in an isolated system does not, cannot, change. And thanks to Einstein, we also know that matter and energy are two rungs on the same ladder.

he word “electron,” coined by G. Johnstone Stoney in 1891, had been used to denote the unit of charge found in experiments that passed electric current through chemicals. In this sense the term was used by Joseph Larmor, J.J. Thomson’s Cambridge classmate.
