I am certainly not an expert on physics in any of its forms (e.g. high-energy, particle, etc.) nor do I understand the complicated mathmatics that physicists use to explain our universe. That aside, I'm not quite so certain that we know what all the sub-atomic particles are. I suspect if we did, then the grand unification theory would be complete and we'd have a far better understanding of the universe than we do. Various pundits down through time have proclaimed such things as "man will never fly", "man will never travel faster than a certain speed", "it's impossible to travel to another celestial body", and so forth. All of these have since been proven wrong. But at the time the statements were made they seemed true because sience hadn't yet delved deep enough to prove them false. Yes, it's possible we have seen all the particles and sub-particles. It seems equally likely that we have not and that when we discover a few more of them we'll be positioned to explain such things as gravity, to use one example.
