It seems like you are asking if particle physics exists as a theoretical science, to go along with the piles of data we have acquired over the years. The answer, of course, is yes. Rather than try to answer each of your questions point by point, I will recommend that you pick up any of the common undergraduate introductions to particle physics and do a little casual study. One good book is Perkins. I never can remember titles, only authors. I think that it's _Introduction to High Energy Physics_. Good luck. -Scott -------------------- Scott I.
