You are the one who asserted, with out any justification whatsoever, that matter is infinitely divisible - you made the assertion now back it up. Modern Physics, if you know anything about it, (sic) says you are wrong Dead wrong! Neither matter nor energy nor space itself are infinitely divisible. And if you think that the difference between a photon, a quark and say the energy in a gravitational field is just a matter of details then you really have no grasp of physics at all!
I have a legitimate question at this time, and hopefully you'll have good answers since you claim to work in this field. How do you know quarks and leptons are the smallest thing? Can you explain more about plancks constant? what's limiting the size? And how did the constant get derived? I keep hearing about quantum particles violating the laws of physics lately, appearing and disappeaing aparently at random. Possibly something about multiple dimensions? But are you saying we've actually reached a limit? We've hit a boundary?

I have this huge suspicion that time will reveal that you're calling the world flat, or declaring that the sun rotates around the earth.
