Truth Trumps Everything:

Of course there could be a basic particle, in fact, there are at least two. The electron is a basic particle that is classified by modern (quantum) physics in a class known as leptons. A basic particle is believed to be a particle which cannot be subdivided into smaller parts or particles. Photons are light particles which also reside in the lepton class. The major difference between electrons and photons is that the electron is believed to have an incredibly, tiny, minuscule mass constituent. Any particle with mass cannot attain the velocity of light within its existing reference frame, while photons which are light do travel at that velocity, which is about 300,000 km or 186,000 mi. /sec., as do electromagnetic fields. It is known that photons interact with electrons by increasing the particles energy level or linear velocity and then decreasing it when a photon particle is ejected by an electron. A simplified analogy would be to imagine the static electron as being similar to our Sun, only so very, very, much smaller. The energy rays emanating from the sun would be similar to the negative electric charge field, which envelopes the electrons mass component and is radiated out from it. A photon could be envisioned as a mass-less chunk or scoop (quanta) of charge field. The other basic particle is called the positron. The positron is the electrons anti-matter counterpart. Its mass and energy are virtually identical to the electron, but, the polarity of its charge field is positive rather than negative and when in linear motion it emits charge field with a right-hand spin, opposite to the left-hand spin of the electron fields.

The Nucleus

The nuclei of atoms consist of two components, the electrically positive charged proton and the electrically neutral, uncharged, neutron which are both in a class called hadrons. These nucleons are believed to be compound particles which can be subdivided into various basic particles. The positive charge on the (compound) proton in the nucleus is electrically balanced by the negative charge on the tiny (basic) electron that orbits it. It seems peculiar that the proton whose mass is over 1860 times as large as that of the electron would be equal, though, opposite in charge magnitude. The other component in the nucleus, found in every element larger than hydrogen, is the uncharged neutron which is slightly more massive than the positively charged proton. A free, nuclear unbound, (neutral) neutron will
