Bush’s Fault

global warming is the cause

They thought the universe was expanding. And now the truth comes out....we’ve been shrinking.

[M Kehoe]

Didn't George Castanza have this problem? Of course there is nothing wrong with that.

Both protons and mesons are composed of quarks (3 in a proton, 2 in a meson), so that makes them lumpy, not spherical. How do you measure the radius of a lump?

From the Carolyn Arends song, "Reaching"

...the more we learn
the more we know
we don't know anything

[Sacajaweau]

So funny..we all think of Costanza...

The universe is winding down. Protons have no choice but to diminish. It is all Obama’s fault. Obama not only diminishes America, he diminishes the universe itself. And so it will be until a real natural born American becomes president of the US and we are exceptional once again. Then the universe will expand and the proton will gain weight.

Man-Made Global Warming.

Hmmm.....Is their shape being manipulated by movement, i.e.,like shaking down a bag of sugar?

What's in a proton?

I know nothing. This is a confirmation.

[Sacajaweau]

These guys are a bunch of quacks/quarks....whatever...

[posterchild]

It IS shrinking but the price stays the same and the manufacturer hopes you won’t notice!

[chuckles]

You guys are making fun of this article, but for me, it could be a matter of life and death. I just had a cancer treatment using protons as bullets. If the protons they used are bigger than they thought, they may have killed more tissue than they wanted to. It’s a lot different to be shot with a .22LR than a .45HP. Right now, I think they used those .45 Talon type protons. I hurt all over.

“measurements are simply wrong.” Silly boy! This will require great gobs of money to clear up.

“Microbiologically speaking,
When I start churnin’, burnin’ and turnin’
I'll make your atoms move so fast
Expandin’ your molecules
Causing a friction fire
Burnin’ you on your neutron
Causing you to scream
“Hit me in the proton, BABY!”” Dr. Funkenstein by Parliament Funkadelic

[I want the USA back]

The proton is not shrinking. Never did and never will. The proton could care less whether some scientist measures it right. Maybe this will teach the scientists some humility, but I doubt it.

The Proton has been Sequestered by the Obasama.

[Our man in washington]

The proton’s football team was a little taken aback by the news that they are a little smaller. The coach was asked whether his team could still place first in the particle league.

“Oh, yeah, everyone on the team is still very positive.” he said.

“...they need more data to understand...”

Interpret that to mean “...they need more FUNDING to understand...”
