For thousands of years, humans have searched for the smallest, most indivisible components that make up our world. Scientists have drilled down to the miniscule quark, the tiny components of protons and neutrons. Still, string theorists suspect that even quarks can be broken down into ever smaller particles, and the search continues. https://www.wondrium.com/the-mind-bending-physics-of-string-theory | The Great Courses
