So our graphical representation of atoms is to a certain extent wrong? Now, since I am reading the Hyperspace book, I guess it would help to understand if dimensions are created from the subatomic particle's interference/reinforcement, or they just are? Naturally, time I know is created by the expansion of the universe.

Asking this, it came to mind what is dark matter? Is it literally matter with just opposite charge? If so, do subatomic particles also form it like normal matter's electrons and protons?

Thanks for the explanation, it was easy enough to understand. Now, is this why the Kaluza-Klein theory eveolved into string theory? Because the particles behaved more like vibrating strings than floating spheres rt?

How does the Higgs boson come into play here? Is it merely hypothetical or has it been widely accepted as something that exists? I recall several years ago there was a lot of hype because it was "observed" in CERN or something like that. What I can remmeber, it was the particle responsible for granting all sorts of matter their mass.

Doing some diving into wikipedia there are tons of things like gravitons and fermions and whatnot that make it seem like it's a massive iceberg out there. My question is, what is the most widely accepted theory for quantum mechanics and what subatomic particles have been proved to actually exist?

My very last questions:

1. Is it theoretically possible to split a subatomic particle? If so, how much energy would it release?
2. Is it true that many subatomic particles are believed to interact with parallel universes (like basically exist in both simultanoeusly)?
