everything is composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons
Wrong. I'm not even sure about the accuracy of what I'm about to say(lots of advances have been made since it was established), but only matter is composed of those three particles.
However, I am still pretty skeptical that such is the case, what with Bohr's Model being totally inaccurate and all.What's really stupid is that in 8th grade chemistry they're still teaching the Bohr model, even though it's been proven false, and replaced with the electron cloud model. The teacher's explaination was that we'll learn the real thing in High School. That's like telling an elementary school class that the world is flat, and they'll be told the truth later.
And ther are other weird particles, like positrons, bosons, and neutrinos. Quantum Mechanics is the most confusing type of science because the laws of physics break down at a quantum size. Okay, I just confused myself.
