Let me recapulate: 1. In order to see small objects (atoms, neutrons, quarks, gluons etc.) we need parts which are smaller than the object we are viewing. 2. If we want to see if an object is made up of other objects we need to see the object. Combine 1 and 2: We can never see the smallest object or even conclude it is the smallest object because in order to make this determination we need to "control" even smaller objects. So the results of actions like this can only be: A. It isnīt the smallest object, because we found smaller objects we could use to view the object. B. Itīs inconclusive. We couldnīt find any smaller objects so we cannot see if the object is made up out of smaller objects. "Proof" that it is indeed the smallest object can never been given. Science=Relgion
