Protons and neutrons consist of thre quarks each.
Does string theory tell us that each quark is a string of its own?

Thank you. Does every one agree?

Anaother question of the same gnegre:

Are electrons strings too?
Is it only in the 'classical' theory where electrons are considered being a pointlike particle?
