THAT HELPED SO MUCH! THANKS!

[platano214]

is it theoretically possible for an electron to have Subelectronic particles orbiting it?

[naruto2710]

@younoob46 well, we discovered the country in which those things were discovered. so technically... yes!

[younoob46]

@naruto2710 did you discover FRIED CHICKEN or CHUCK NORRIS don't think so
