Protons are smaller TPT
FTA: A team of scientists set out to find the size of
protons, and in doing so have upset the current body of literature on
quantum electrodynamics.
From another article: If the smaller size is correct, then there's something missing in
physicists' understanding of quantum electrodynamics, which governs how light and matter interact.
...
Chad Orzel, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at Union
College and author of "How to Teach Physics to Your Dog" (Scribner,
2010), said the results are good for physics generally. "It's really boring when all the measurements and
theory agree with each other. This kind of disagreement gives us
something to talk about that isn't the Higgs boson."

Another example of 'if the debate is over, it isn't science.'
