I guess I didn’t make my case. What I ment to say is suppose we take a single proton and examine what it is made of. It could be composed of either a single sub atomic particle (a proton like we suppose) or it could be made of more than one sub sub atomic particle.
My guess is that suppose you take an individual proton (or better stated H+ ion) and look at it under intense magnification you might find that it is made up of smaller particles that looks and acts like a proton, maybe has a neutron and/or an electron in an orbital with a lot of space in the orbital.
Good day all.
You could be right, was just teasing. But I really do want Michelson Morley redone. I know, crank.
Of course, Seuss's work was preceded by the thought-progression of
"The Siphonaptera"
"Big fleas have little fleas,
Upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
and so, ad infinitum."
The above is seemingly related to lines by Jonathan Swift from his long satirical poem "On Poetry: a Rhapsody" (1733)
"The vermin only teaze and pinch
Their foes superior by an inch.
So, naturalists observe, a flea
Has smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bite 'em,
And so proceed ad infinitum."
So -- your premise is not without precedent.
Of course, the boys who play with the really big toys have long since discarded your premise -- in favor of all sorts of colorful. quarky, leptonish quanta-thinguses that spin and flip -- and which bear no noticeable similarity to your infinite progression schema...

(If, by now, you haven't detected my tongue-firmly in cheek -- please take note, and enjoy that I haven taken the opportunity you offered to inject a quantum of levity into this already-horrific week... '-)
Peace and joy, FRiend -- and Good day to you, as well!
