    What's the difference between fundamental particles and composite particles?

    I'm confused, by composite particle we probably mean when we use something to smash it, something new will come up, right? Then what's so different about fundamental particles? For example if we "smash" a electron with a positron, we also get something new--photon. I guess I am making some...
