2016 when Researchers in Switzerland have separated an electron into two smaller quasi particles, a spinon and an orbiton, meaning they have physically separated the spin and the orbit properties of an electron...The result being the electron is no longer a fundamental particle..

Ok, i understand why you hate being proved wrong about an Electron being separated into two quasi particles, but you need to keep up with whats happening in the wonderful world of changing physics...Methinks I shall re-name you as the, Physics Antiquity Dealer Doting Yesterday...Paddy for short ..
