what is the name of the smallest particle that shrouds the universe?

Answer 1

Neutrino.

Answer 2

This is contradictory. If it is v small it cannot shroud anything. Maybe you mean the Higgs Boson AKA the Graviton. This has never been observed and is only theoretical. It is the particle that controls and is Gravity, It has also been called the "God" particle by the press. At CERN in Geneva a very big "atom smasher" is just about to come online and is called a Hadron Collider. It will generate incredible energies that will smash into each other and the resulting "hangover" could very well show up a Higgs Boson. It is to see what the universe was like in the first few microseconds after the big bang. The energy generated has been described as the kinetic energy of an aircraft carrier travelling at 30MPH smashing into the tip of a pin. It has also been postulated that this collider will generate billions of teeny black holes that would swallow the Earth. I hope not.

Answer 3

As many have pointed out to 'shroud' something means to cover it up... so what exactly are you alluding to?

For smallest particles you'd be looking for Higgs Boson particles (theoretic only as yet), Neutrinos, Quarks, Strangness, and Charm particles...
'Sting theory' postulates that the universe is created through tiny pieces of string (bit like a schoolboy's pockets - lol). These strings are so tiny that they could hide inside of a Neutrino.

Physics gets very odd on the quantumn level... very odd indeed.

Answer 4

At the moment, scientists believe that quarks are the smallest particles in our universe and that they form the basis for all matter. However, just as scientists until the late 19th century believed that the atom was the smallest particle, they may someday discover particles smaller than quarks. In the meantime, theory holds that quarks, with the help of gluons to hold the quarks together, make up everything in the nuclei of atoms. Up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom—these are the six “flavors” of quarks. Up and down quarks are the least massive and are more prevalent than other types. Protons always have two up quarks and one down quark, whereas neutrons have two down quarks and an up quark. Other more exotic and more massive particles are composed of other quark combinations. A lambda particle, for example, has an up, a down, and a strange quark, while a kaon has a strange and an up quark. Gluons carry the strong force that glues quarks together to form protons, neutrons, and other particles and keeps them together in an atom’s nucleus.

Answer 5

Your question is very ambiguous. To shroud would imply encompassing the universe. If so, then some theories in quatum physics suggest that that may be a brane.

If you are asking for the basic smallest fundamental indivisible particle, then it may be a string - however, strings have not be determined to exist definitively. It is a theory that is supported in mathematics.

Answer 6

The quark is probably the smallest physical entity in the universe, but it may be huge compared to the spacial vortices that produced it.
The vortices are spatial entities initiated by the quantum effect mandated by a quantum universe!!

Answer 7

The smallest particle that shrouds the universe is called atom.♥

Answer 8

It is neutrino.
There are literally billion billion billions of them in the universe. We cannot detect them because they are nearly mass-less or for some people zero mass.
Millions of them is passing through our brain every second without us knowing.

Answer 9

the neutron , proton and electrons are the smallest particles of universe to form an element

Answer 10

"Shrouds the universe" ??
Nothing shrouds the universe ..
I do not understand the question..
