    That is indeed both basic and correct, but protons still do have mass.

    Protons have mass - electrons and photons have negligible mass.

    Photons are the protestants of the world of chemistry.

    Protons were discovered by Ernest Rutherford - a home schooled New Zealander.

    They have a mass of 1.6726 x 10^-27 kg each.

    Neutrons 1.6749 x 10^-27 each.

    So neutron is heavier but not by much.

    Electrons are a mere 9.109 x 10^-31 kg

    Electrons are to Protons what grams are to kg (~ three orders of magnitude)
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
