The discussion centers on the concept of infinitesimally small particles, with participants debating whether any particles can be considered infinitely small. Mainstream physics views fundamental particles, like electrons and quarks, as point-like with no discernible size, while theories like string theory propose that these particles are actually vibrating strings. Some participants argue that composite particles, such as protons and neutrons, have non-zero sizes despite being made of point-like constituents. The conversation also touches on the implications of quantum mechanics and theories like Einstein-Cartan, which suggest finite sizes for certain particles. Ultimately, the debate highlights the complexity and evolving nature of particle physics and the understanding of size at the quantum level.
