The opposite of elementary particle.

Archaea are much more closely related to the eukaryotes than bacteria, see e.g. Figure "Coral of life by János Podani (2019)" which shows how archaea diverged from eukarya almost 2 By after LUCA!

It therefore appears that the mitochondrial endosymbiosis happened when a bacteria like cell joined up with an archaea.

Some notable points in which archaea look more like eukaryotes than bacteria:

Ciro Santilli's wife, who was frustrated with academia at some point, admires the fact that Simons managed to make infinite money, and then invested back in actual science, e.g. through the Simons Foundation.

This is where they moved the Chicago Pile-1 after they decided it might be a bad idea to run highly experimental nuclear reactions right in the middle of one of the most populous cities of the United States.

After it was reassembled, the Chicago Pile-1 was renamed as Chicago Pile 2 (CP2).

So more precisely, it is a continuation of the Metallurgical Laboratory.

It's still not that far though, only about 20 kilometers, and today is also a populated area.

Ciro Santilli maintains that they chose the site because the name is so cool. Wikipedia says it is derived from the Forest of Argonne, maybe it even shared etymology with the element argon.
