What is the smallest size matter can exist VS what is the smallest size matter can be measured?

Question

Can you name all the quarks do you think there is the possibility that we will continue to find smaller and smaller SubAtomic matter, or is matter all the same goo with the exception that we give a name to the matter that we can measure? If you say something about ether (M&M) it will add to your chances of getting a BA, add somthing about its relationship to light, can it form atomic level matter, what happens to it when it enters black holes, can it pass between atoms like a grain of sand can pass between the earth and sun if it has a high enough velocity (can subatomics pass through a "solid mass" as if it was not there?) , if all mass attracts other masses do atomic level masses attract subatomic masses are they attracted to each other?, ok thats enought to start with, the focus should be on the title question.

Answer 1

All I can say is =This is where the cooky crumbles.
If a scientist was to observe me on the Eath from the outskirt of the Universe I would be seen as the smallest particle .
As per Einstein Special relativity Things appear differently from different frames of reference.Especially lenght contraction.So Size is relative based on RElativity Theory.

Answer 2

Smallest size matter existing according to current theory are the subatomic level strings.

Define measurement.

I think the smallest measurements we make are still on subatomic particles in particle acceleration collisions. Perhaps some physicist could help clarify this.

Strings are smaller!

Answer 3

Most physicists would state that something only exists if it can be measured. If we can't measure it, how do we know that it's there?That's the problem physicists have with strings -- they may exist, but there isn't currently any conceivable way to demonstrate them.

Answer 4

cant answer ur question way to smart for me with my 6 th grade education

Answer 5

I refer you to an earlier answer i gave on here. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhIIAMDcWfE5StQR.jg91obsy6IX?qid=20060826141222AAqesiV
