Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by fun dementia Lt's Yeah when we

00:08

think of our own personal fundamentals were forced to admit

00:11

that deep down in our very core we're just super

00:14

awesome and humble too at which of the following is

00:18

not the fundamental particle and hear the potential answers All

00:24

right well the fundamental particle is something that doesn't have

00:27

component parts It can't be broken down any further like

00:32

an electron way can't cut an electron in half even

00:35

with a quantum chains off By the way quantum chainsaws

00:39

don't exist But if they did well they'd be really

00:41

awesome all right and we can't build a photonic out

00:44

of spare parts from the subatomic junk yard same with

00:47

a neutrino We can't smooshed together any other particles and

00:50

come up with a neutrino but a proton Yeah well

00:54

as tiny as it is it's made up of even

00:57

smaller particles three corks to be precise the correct answer

01:01

is b a proton it's not a fundamental particle so

01:04

remember if it can be broken down into component parts

01:07

It's not fundamental although some scientists have a theory that

01:10

fundamental particles are actually one dimensional strings But we're not

01:15

going to get into that right now because fundamentally speaking 00:01:17.741 --> [endTime] our brains are about to explode
