Question about indivisible points?

Asked by dotlin (422points) August 10th, 2010

Someone I know online was saying you can cut things to infinity, he said even an electron has a left and right side therefore it can be halved.

The person replying has a extensive knowledge in physics said this.
“No. A standard electron is a point particle. A POINT.

points do NOT have sides, or widths, or lengths.”

If this is the case how can millions of inadvisable points make width if 1 has none?
