and maybe some day we’ll find out that there’s something smaller inside quarks
I don’t think particle physicists in 2026 wake up in a cold sweat worried about preons. We are still taking measurements, but I don’t think theoreticians have any reason to invoke it – and IIRC its predictions have been outright contradicted experimentally.
That’s probably it.
