Are particles infinitely divisible?
What actually IS a particle? What's between them? What's even between the subatomic particles-and-antiparticles that fizz in and out of existence between electrons and nuclei? Are they congruent cubes with no inbetween?

I imagine everything is infinitely divisible because size and space are relative

So a quark could be as relatively big as a galactic cluster to some smaller particle?

They are not.
A fluctuation in a field.
There's nothing between them.
They are not.

I would like to know more.

I don't really know your background in physics, but guessing that you've heard that photons (i.e particles of light) are disturbances in the electromagnetic field.
The same goes for every particle. Each particle is a disturbance in a corresponding field.
