A proton should be one of the simplest objects in physics. It is a basic building block of all atoms, or, alternatively, the simplest atom possible on its own, since hydrogen (a positively charged proton plus a negatively charged electron) is always hydrogen when ionized. Most atoms in the Universe are hydrogen, as are most …
