Positron. Or is this a joke?

A Proton is a type of particle in the Baryon family (so is a Neutron). Baryon's are relatively 'big' (about 2000 times the mass of an electron). They are made up of so-called elementary particles called quarks.

And electron itself considered an elementary particle (of the lepton family).

The only way in which a Proton can be considered the opposite of an electron is in terms of charge.

No, no, no. A Proton is a prototype BBC Micro. Or a crap car.

So that isn't the opposite of an Electron, it is one!

Are there any Protons lying about?

That is sooo sh/te! Carry on! smile

(BTW, it's not a positron, it's a proton.)

No, no... it's not. A positron is an anti-electron, by definition the oposite of an electron. It is a 'positive electron'.

A Proton is an entirely different kettle of Quarks...

Perhaps this should have gone on the 'bad jokes' thread.
