Each individual particle is called a quantoretto, the smallest unit of Universal matter, which is electromagnetic (among other unknown, yet-to-be-determined forces) in nature.

Quantoretta are the entities that allow communication across the Universe to be orders of magnitude faster than the speed of light.
