You think you can't make those any smaller?

I would assume you can't generally just shrink the size of basic particles, molecular bonds or fundamental forces, but maybe you can, who knows.

we used to think electrons were the smallest particles, until they were not.

and I think talking about breaking molecular bonds though or bringing "fundamental forces" into this is misleading and disingenuous. the point of the OP is to say, "you can take anything in a small enough dose and its not poisonous"

And when you say prions or whatever like you were, my point is if you take small enough doses even of those, you won't be poisoned. you get what I mean, so lets not waste each others time on trying to confuse impossibilities with reality. you won't be getting hurt or die or meaningfully poisoned by ingesting one "prion" or particle of "strange matter". and now when you describe any "poison" with this model, say you ingest 1 particle of even a pure poison, you won't be getting hurt or die.

It was a joke.

sarcasm is often a joke on you, lol. I get it now. but it can be hard to get across, especially if someone doesn't know you.
