John, what I was getting at is, if we know there are subatomic particles smaller than atoms, then the subatomic particles are too made of smaller objects arent they, its almost a certainty. So how far does it go? What I do understand is that if you split an atom up into say 100 bits, all you have is 100 bits of an Atom, unless they discover that there are definable components of an atom other than subatomic particles.

Because it has both of the outcomes up until the point someone checks, when it can only have one.

Tiger, we don't know how small it goes, the Large Hadron Colider experiments are trying to find out some of the smaller bits.
