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

Now to be known as Punytrons

“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.

I’m holding out for Teenytrons… but I’ll accept Microtrons, but only if the name is not licensed from Bill Gates.

First Pluto, and now this. Are they going to say Protons aren’t subatomic particles now?

Protons just don’t have as much charge as they used to no matter how much they try to 1/2 spin it....

But, but, but… what if a proton wants to identify as an electron or a neutron? Obviously, they can just say they are the particle of their emotional choice (or perhaps the colors and spins choices of their various sub-atomical desires) and then go on their merry way, occupying those gender charge roles? That’s the new politically correct physics of the woke crowd. Just think of the theoretical atomic interactions that could take place under the new, woke physics, of course, you may never see them in reality, but it’s all so awakening to imaging them.

Just think of what new woke elements could do to the Woke chemistry as self-identifying molecules re-arrange themselves according to how they see themselves interacting along co-Valent or perhaps co- or non co-Valentine lines. WHEEEEE! Valentine’s Day will never be the same again!

They still are, but there's a paper still in press regarding the discover of amateurons. They are the same size, but they aren't as good at staying in the nucleus.

But what if they want to identify as non-binary, MEG-Atomic particles? Shouldn’t we let them? Maybe protons should be allowed to self-identify as a Uranium Atom… that would be exciting. Why couldn’t it be all that it wants to be??? Why limit it to being a proton. Perhaps it REALLY wants to be an anti-proton…. Or just an antitron? Damn, these Old, White supremacists Physicsts, forcing oppressed particles into circles they don’t want to occupy!

Same scale, but during the earlier measurements some clod had a thumb on it.

Could they even look at it while they measured it? Or did it flit off somewhere else while they got their measuring tape out? — Heisenberg

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.

They’ve been difficult to find… most physicists have only been looking in the obvious places. You have to look in small towns, little theaters, and obscure play companies to find them. Physicists use their grants to go to Broadway and only find the Pros… and often miss the outstanding offerings one might find by looking for the obscure amateurons in out-of-the-way locales. Also, they suppress those who do find such rising lights, because they’d have to re-write their own textbooks and they’re too lazy to do that. Besides, they’d have to admit they were wrong when they wrote them. Can’t have that, you know.

Naw, they tossed in some magic fairy dust dark matter to make things look bigger… Same guy also told his college dates his male equipment named Richard was bigger than reality. too. She was disappointed with reality.
