Hi W Guglinski; Welcome to the Toequest forum. I think through experiments the proton and electron has coverted to a neutron and Ve. I'm posting a little section from Wiki, for you to look at. My Idea also equates the proton/electron with a neutron.
However, protons are known to transform into
neutrons through the process of
electron capture. This process does not occur spontaneously but only when energy is supplied. with protons
where
p is a proton,
e is an
electron,
n is a neutron, and ν
e is an electron
neutrino The process is reversible: neutrons can convert back to protons through
beta decay, a common form of
radioactive decay.
Best to you, Pat
