If all matter is made up of Elements...  

I know what they are called, but Proton, Neutron and Electron aren't elements.. at least I can't find them on any Periodic Table.

I know there are also theoretic particles like "Quarks" and "Strings", but those are names of parts, not the elements they are made of.

You don't understand his question. Read it again, more closely.

Right, but what elements are Electrons, Protons and Neutrons made up of?

Read the above responses to the same answer.

Sol, I get the question Parated's asking. If atoms are the building blocks of everything, do atoms' PARTS have something like atoms making them up?

This whole thing reminds me of something a science teacher once said, apropos of the vacuum (which is mostly what comprises an atom): "Atoms are nothing moving around nothing so fast it becomes something."

Really tasks the mind, considering the possible connection between time & space that description makes (if only by default).

Ain't fizzix fun?

hmmm I am oddly curious.

Yeah, the above responses are what I normally get for this question, along with the condescending attitude. I ask it mostly in jest because well, it is a joke question. Of course sub atomic particles are made up of something that will someday be discovered and added to the Periodic Table (hence the "periodic" part of the name). I just think it's interesting that so many people of science would rather give a consdescending answer than simply say, "no bloody idea", or at least venture their opinion on the matter... instead of their opinion of me for asking. ;~D

And I am not even going to try and give these particles a name. I don't know and frankly don't care what they are called. The fact that they do the wonderous things trhat they do is enough for my silly little brain.

I think this graphic of mine says it all.

I don't know if it says it all or not, but it does speak volumes though Ted.

Ok, "volumes" works for me. ;~)
