New measurement yields smaller proton radius

Using the first new method in half a century for measuring the size of the proton via electron scattering, scientists have produced a new value for the proton's radius in a new experiment...The new value for the proton radius that was obtained is 0.831 fm, which is smaller than the previous electron-scattering value of 0.88 fm...

This explains a few things.

Global Warming is shrinking Protons?

Minorities most effected.

[mountainlion]

So the whole universe is shrinking! The seas are not raising, the earth is shrinking. /S

A .0x% diff ... that gets headlines?

[Yo-Yo]

This explains a few things.

Like why our Federal Deficit is $22 trillion?

There is a fallacy in the proposition. The proposition is that all Protons are the same size.

In reality, the experiment proved that protons are not all the same size

[spokeshave]

Its smaller because that probability the Epstein suicided is tending to zero...resulting in a cosmic realignment of nuclear forces throughout the known galaxy.

Some protons have ‘privilege’ above others ...

AND - Epstein did not kill himself.

Is there such a thing as a conton?

[bert]

My thought is that the larger size of some protons is a contributing factor to the warming climate change

Just my luck. I had 0.832 fm in the office pool.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Impossible! The science was settled LONG AGO. Over 97% of all scientists support the old radius measurement.

[ElkGroveDan]

Wait. I thought all science was “settled.”

[MrEdd]

Man made global warming is destroying the universe!
Atomic particles are shrinking.
Scientists have determined that there are only eleven years until the universe fades from existence unless Americans depose Trump and embrace Eric Holder...

Women and minorities are most affected by the cessation of reality caused by combustion engines and red meat.

[reed13k]

Or that the prior measurement error was larger.

I know a gal who claims her trees are shrinking in diameter ...

[Red Badger]

And I thought I was losing weight......................
