    It's turtles all the way down...

    The atom? Physicists have gone way deeper than the atom. But Ron is probably right... the more energy you inject, the more you find.
    A decent light book is "The Matter of Everything" by Suzie Sheehy, convering the history of particle physics.

    Oh, you can buy your own 6-coil cyclotron at Amazon, for $120, less than the price of many textbooks. I shit you not.

    They've got some other neat stuff. I bought one of the Stirling engine
    kits. It's surprising well done for the price although the instructions
    are in Chinglish.
