is there anything smaller than a quark?

Question

i want to know(anything yet discovered)

Answer 1

GLUONS . they r found b/w quarks and they carry color force which binds quarks.

Answer 2

not that people know of.

A long time ago, scientists used to think atoms were just round cylinders, but through the years they have been able to figure the parts of an atom too.

Quarks are what make up protons, neutrons, and electrons, and so far they have only discovered 6 different types of quarks..

Answer 3

Nothing yet discovered although there is some speculation that there are too many varieties of quarks (18 if you count flavors and colors) for them to be the fundamental particles. Suspicions abound that there may be something smaller.

Answer 4

According to Quantum Physics, the fundamental particle may be a string (string theory, M-theory). The smallest fundamental particle is thought to be 1 Planck length (10E-43 metres) and the fundamental unit of time would be a Planck second (10E-33 seconds).



However, as we well know theories in this field are being revised almost on a daily basis - - so - - there could be something smaller than a string.
