During the 19th and 20th centuries, physicists began to probe deep into the nature of matter and energy. In so doing, they quickly realized that the rules which govern them become increasingly blurry the deeper one goes. Whereas the predominant theory used to be that all matter was made up of indivisible atoms, scientists began to realize that atoms are themselves composed of even smaller particles.
From these investigations, the Standard Model of Particle Physics was born. According to this model, all matter in the Universe is composed of two kinds of particles: hadrons – from which Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets its name – and leptons. Where hadrons are composed of other elementary particles (quarks, anti-quarks, etc), leptons are elementary particles that exist on their own.

Lepton isn't a moron. Lepton has been a poster here since '98. Obviously not a Hillary voter.
Midichlorians?
Just read about plasma. Never knew what it was.
Of course I now know .00000000000000001 percent of what there is to know about plasma :) It’s a start.
Thanks.
I’m still confused about human cell damage. Every part of our body is made up of cells, right?
Does a damaged nerve cell have a damaged atom? Sorry if it’s a stupid question.
Well the hody has a different thing also called plasma. Chemical soup that can be contaminated by rogue molecules.
the opposite of leptoffs- i thought everyone knew that?
[[Electrons are our friends, are they not?]]
Hopefully- Jill Stein and ilk are trying to get the electrons to change their vote from trump as we speak-
Good Lord!
Science. Only class I ever got a C in!!
My theory is there is an entire universe inside every atom. We just have a hard time seeing something that small.
What’s a leppo?
Little Irish elves that have pots of gold?
Turtles, all the way down.
I like turtles

Ha I remember that!
My son wants a tortoise for his First Communion in May. They are cute little buggers but a lot of maintenance!
I don’t know, but they keep stealin’ me lucky charms!
I’m not sure what they were talking about either. I hope Trump asks for a bill to fund a Large Lepruchaun Collider (LLC) in Ireland.
And I pooped today.
The infertile offspring of Lesbians and Trannies?
If I had met one of those girls in the earlier Victoria’s Secret article, she would have been lepton.
Of course they are! One of my mom's favorites...
Sad to say, it is a stupid question, insofar as there is no such thing as a "damaged atom" ( discounting the possibility that you're being a smartass using the "plasma" pun here. ) Hmmmm.
