A quick Google would suggest that this is a "Top Quark" (Does it have big ears??)
(I admit I didnt know that off hand
)The Atomic particle that really gets me however is the "OMG particle"
(This is about the same energy as a Rifle bullet!!
)I really can't get my head round that one (Even after several bottles of Wine!) But then that is the nature of cosmology! It is Soooo far beyond what our monkey brains can actually cope with that even 8 Cans of "Spesh" will only manage to give you a glimpse of the horror of the true nature of reality!
Correctamundo dude ! If I was a physics lecturer and you were my student, you'd get an A*. But I'm not, so you don't.

Can you tell what it is yet?

Here's the question...!?
How are "atoms" made up of "subatomic" particles that weigh more than the atoms??
How does that work??
(Is it a binding energy thing??)

I'm going out on a limb here as I'm not a physicist, but from what I understand, top quarks have only been observed in particle accelerators like the LHC. They decay very rapidly, once formed after a collision, into other sub atomic particles and it's these other decay particles that can independently reform into other stuff, like protons or neutrons.
I was on the wiki page earlier btw, so I'm hoping wiki is accurate.
