The question is basically unanswerable because there are lots of things that could be considered "the smallest thing in the universe" depending on what metric you use. Also, for a lot of them, no one person "discovered" them, it was the result of a lot of people and eventually enough evidence accumulated that most people decided "Hey, what that guy said 20 years ago makes sense."
