Protons are found to be significantly smaller than scientists previously thought

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]]

Oh that’s just great- right after i ordered 50 billion sweaters for the little guys- ya tell me they are smaller that previously thought? Dang- what am i gonna do with all the oversized sweaters now?

And besides the nucleus, there’s also the oldcleus.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

They’re no longer subatomic particles. They are dwarf subatomic particles.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

I thought the two things were nuclei studied by nuclear physicists and nuculars studied by nucular physicists.

And besides the nucleus, there’s also the oldcleus.

We mustn’t forget the Omicroncleus… very expensive but has no charge…

But still multiple orders of magnitude tinier than every Democrat Leftist’s Ego and conviction they have absolutely all the right answers and arrogance they have the justified authority to rule over everything due to their sheer brilliance.

[irishjuggler]

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.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

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.

Protons on Keto. They are losing weight.

Protons on Keto. They are losing weight.

Maybe call them Ketons.

Professor Proton is dismayed

[pierrem15]

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

[nagant]

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.

MAYBE THEY JUST GOT OUT OF THE POOL!...................

Not to worry! They will grow into them.............

[Stosh]

I can resonate with a comment that will fly by most (at least in a strong enough magnetic field)

😆 good,point
