If all matter is made up of Elements...

Read the above responses to the same answer.

[b]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? Maggiepie[/b]

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

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.

[b]You don't understand his question. Read it again, more closely. Maggiepie[/b]

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