Question: Thank you for answering all my questions and I have one last question: Why would you spend The money on the periodic table: is it because you thinks its intestinig or is it because you think everyone should know what its is or do you have any other reason?

All the elements in the periodic table are actually made up of three different particles: electrons, protons and neutrons.

So everything in the periodic table and the way it all behaves is down to just three particles: which is much simpler than the hundreds of particles in the periodic table.

This is what we study in particle physics: the smallest things which make up everything else. They are also the simplest things so it helps the Universe make more sense.

So I want to make a website and a poster about these particles.

Since they make up EVERYTHING in the Universe it seems like a great thing for people to learn about, and they all follow patterns so it’s easy to learn too!
