One of the biggest problems with the very large and the very small is perspective. Take my avatar for example, its completely mis-representative of what a atom actually looks like. The correct perspective would be a golf ball representing the protons and neutrons in the middle of a football stadium, with bb's representing the electrons in the upper deck. An atom is about 0.000000001% stuff with the rest being empty space.
So if you drew an atom at the correct scale, you would need a massive sheet of paper. Which is why you then see it drawn like my avatar. |

So they discover quarks and shit but can't figure out the size of a proton?

"The third explanation is that the current theories of quantum electrodynamics are wrong, though chances of that seem slim given that the theory works very well and it has been tested many times."
I have always subscribed to this theory. Early in my career this occurred to me and I cannot find any plausible description to prove otherwise. "Last, the method used in the latest set of experiments, involves muonic hydrogen, which is a proton with a muon, rather than an electron, orbiting around it. Like electrons, muons are negatively charged, but they are 207 times heavier. That means they fly closer to the proton, and it takes more energy to move them to higher-energy orbitals. The greater energy differences make measuring them easier. Firing a laser at the muonic hydrogen excites the muon, moving it to a different orbital. The muon then falls back to its lower-energy state, emitting an X-ray photon." At right dare is bullshit, Y'all. And, they know it. |

In the protons defense, it had just gotten out of the pool. There was shrinkage.
