Was always suspicious about them weighing a ton as their name implies.

“Electrons are negatively charged; according to current knowledge, they have no expansion, but are point-like.”

I’d surmise that photons, neutrinos, etc. are also point-like. Of course, they are waves ... so “no expansion” works fine.

Maybe

I told them measure twice, cut once, but they wouldn’t listen. Scientists have to much hubris these days.

Exagerating lengths. Not an heretofore unknown phenomenon.

Thanks for your post, LibWhacker.

That was an exceptionally well written science article.

I often get overwhelmed by the professional jargon, but not this time.

0.84 femtometers huh. Still a significant order of magnitude larger than comrade Biden’s brain.

[[Protons are found to be significantly smaller than scientists previously thought]]

0.84 femtometers instead of 0.88 femtometers??! Whoa. To my eye, they’ve always appeared to be at least 0.86 femtometers. This changes everything. i’m disoriented now.

Assuming a spherical shape, a radius of .44 is 15% more volume than a radius of of .42. More precision demands a third number beyond the decimal point.

Still no instrument that’s sensitive enough to measure the vanishingly small size of the GOP’s testicles.

Any measuring device affects the results of the measurement.
For instance, ice coring releases CO2 from clathrates. You can compare one ice core’s CO2 content to another ice core’s CO2 content, but it is invalid to compare an ice core’s CO2 content to directly-sampled atmospheric CO2.

“..a novel measurement technique showed that protons are probably smaller than had been assumed since the 1990s.”

Great. Now I have to recalibrate my proton measurer.
