The beginning and the middle had me really interested, but do all your stories have such crappy endings?

This is why I never went on with quantum physics... the ending is often disappointing.
Want to see something ? It is not there anymore !
Want to measure how fast something goes ? You must first forget where it is !
Things you want to observe must first be crashed together several times at very high speed.
Etc..

The positron, (for there may be only one) is the positively charged version of the electron.
Neither of actually exist, they are merely quantum possibilities.
The proton, on the other hand, does exist, it is a collection of quarks.
You are comparing lemons and elephants, except that in this case the lemon is only an imaginary fruit.

HooKay, Positrons are antimatter-electrons. But according to what I was reading (Feynman Lectures Vol 1) he hadn't mentioned antimatter as yet I think I need to get back to physics properly....

Positrons are as simple to understand as electrons.
Protons are baryons and as such don't make any sense.

Baryons? I'm afraid to ask...

Particles made out of three quarks.

So applying my Engineering brain a quark is a third of a charge (which every way it points, up, down or I hope I'm joking in, out)...

Close enough. +2/3 or -1/3.

and now a darkened room to think, darn at work, well I will do that later then!

My patio door has broken today.
Phone up the company who installed it.
My 10 year warrantee runs it tomorrow.
Looks like someone triggered it to go wrong a couple of days early.

Now, when I were a child, Timex watches were as accurate as it was possible to be. The minute the warranty ran out, they died. Only accurate thing about 'em...

OT: Have you ever been to the Mary Rose exhibition in Pompy? I was surprised to see "wristwatch" sundials!

They were only "as accurate as possible" according to them, the real accuracy king in those pre-quartz days were the Bulova Accutrons (and those still run, I have a lot of them).
Timex saved cost by using metal alloy bearings instead of jeweled bearings that last forever. That's why Timexes died, and that's one of the reasons collectors don't like them (aside from the fact that they weren't fine watches). However, the die-right-after-warranty thing may also have been due to the warranty covering the watch as long as the oils lasted, did you ever get your Timex serviced (theoretically they could go for a very long time if regularly maintained, but the bearings couldn't take a lack of maintenance)?
