which is the basic fundamental particle of the unverse?

Answer 1

Quarks (and their antiquarks).
Leptons (and their antiparticles)
Photons (they are their own antiparticle)
Gravitons (they are their own antiparticle)

Gravitons exhibit a force monopole: 1! = 1 (attract)

Leptons exhibit a force bipole: positive for positrons, negative for electrons. (Neutrinos are neutral, not a pole.). 2!=2 (attract, repel)

Quarks exhibit a force hexapole: up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom 3!=6 (weird stuff, convolved with the conjugate bipole too)

If you can find a fifth force, I'll bet it has 24 poles.

Answer 2

From what we can prove experimentally, the most fundamental particles are the fermions and the guage bosons. Fermions are made up of quarks and leptons. Quarks are what make up the neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus, and leptons are things like electrons and neutrinos. Guage bosons are fundamental particls like the gluon, photon, and W and Z bosons.

There is a theory currently called the preon theory, that indicates all of the above particles are themselves made up of point-like particles called preons, but there has been no experimental proof that this theory is correct.

Answer 3

The universe is a quantum entity
At the beginning there was just space-time.
Because it is quantized it is not perfect even though each unit is the same
This variation in the basic space unit is what evolved into matter and us.
The most fundamental particle is space itself.

Answer 4

Naturally, I disagree with eelfins above. What he is claiming, is WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR. Size is infinite. Therefore no matter what you reduce something to, there will ALWAYS be something that makes up those elements. In other words, we know what these three particles are, and we have identified them. But to say that they are not made up of smaller things would be ridiculous, and a futile effort.
(PS-The universe is NOT made up vibrating strings as proposed by String Theory. Check out the new theory that is replacing String Theory..Google "M Theory"...check it out.)

Answer 5

The basic particles of the universe are quarks, electrons, and neutrinos. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Quarks electrons and neutrinos are elementary particles, and can't be divided.

Any attempts to divide these particles results in additional particles, because e=mc^2, any attempt to split sub-atomic particles results in more particles, created out the the energy used to split them.

Answer 6

In this sense, I believe that string theory has merit. The notion of particles is a high level abstraction that should not be considered to be "real" at the physical level. As useful as the concept of particles is, they are not real.

Answer 7

Some say there are 2 basic building blocks of the universe: hydrogen and stupidity.

I actually agree with the person who said strings. It's tough to prove, but if it is true, that all is made up hyper-dimensional vibrating strings, then it means that maybe Pythagoras was not far off when he said everything is made up of numbers. It's kind of the same.

Answer 8

Hi. Strings.

Answer 9

quarks and photons
