The building blocks of the universe are not the high-energy transient states (hadrons) of the proton, but waves of the electron and positron. Accordingly, the most fruitful arenas of research in the future will be learning the properties of the wave medium (not building accelerators!)....
or maybe at that time they didn’t get to neutron yet, electron and proton. Derack found the equation for the electron, surely somebody in six months is going to find the equation for the proton and it’ll be over. It didn’t
