"No matter how hard you try you will never be able to grasp just how tiny, how spatially unassuming, is a proton."
It amazes me that even though protons are so extremely small, so small that on this dot of this "i" there could be around 500,000,000,000 of them, but we still know that they exist. It has always been hard for me to believe something exists without being able to see it with my own eyes but I guess that I just have to believe that they are real. I, personally, wouldn't want to take the time and try to actually see a proton. It seems so crazy that there is so much to ourselves and our world that we have never seen before or even completely understand but we live each day as if it's not there.
How did someone first discover the proton?
