“The problem with which physicists must now concern themselves measures a mere 0.0350 millionth of a millionth of a millimetre.”

By atomic standards that’s hugh!

Whoa! The discrepancy was over 5 times the calculated margin of error for the previous measurement. Thats pretty friggin big man. One wonders what repercussions this will have as the results filter down and are confirmed.

Sounds like another serious problem in their never ending conjecture upon conjecture that requires adjustments of previous guesswork in an attempt to make the math work. Oh, and by the way, we were only kidding about the dark matter thingy. ‘Wonder if the two are related?

An international team measures the charge radius of the hydrogen nucleus and stumbles across some mysteries of physics

And some other mysteries of physics solved by the fractional ground states of hydrogen.

So does that mean I now have more room to store stuff? My attic & garage are getting pretty full.
