To be fair to Nashton, he's actually right if, as I understand him, his

Remember, "atom" is from the Greek "atomos", indivisible. Newton, as
others
before and after him, thought that the atom was indeed indivisible. It
was only in the 20th century (Rutherford, in 1911) that atomic theory
contained a coherent model incorporating subatomic particles.

From Rutherford's electron to Gell-Mann's quark. The atom has been
truly split.


It would be nice, Kolker, if occasionally you'd work out what the issue was
(and, generally, do some research so you could appear at least minimally
informed) before joining in.
