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)
