Read the latest issue of Nature [8 July 2010].

A new very high precision measurement of the proton radius is 5-sigma
lower than QED-based expectations.

QED-based value is 0.877 to 0.9 fermi

New measurement indicates that the proton radius is 0.84 fermi.

Decades ago Discrete Scale Relativity predicted that the proton radius
would equal about 0.81 fermi, based on the Schwarzschild metric and
the corrected value of G. Going to the more realistic Kerr-Newman
metric gives a slightly higher value of 0.814 fermi.

So on the proton radius test, Discrete Scale Relativity not only
competes well with QED, it actually beats QED and gives a more
accurate prediction.

Sigh!

The QED-based values are high by about by 4.8%.

Discrete Scale Relativity's value is low by 3.6%.

DSR beats QED for this particular test.

Right, Woofster?

Did you mean to say the the measurement is lower than QED-based
expectations. AND that the new measurements have a 5-sigma confidence
level?

Or what?

If you read the paper in Nature you will understand that the newly
measured proton radius estimate and the value based on QED differ by 5
standard deviations.

This is what the authors of the paper published in Nature say.

If verified, it is a serious problem for QED.

Get your information from the source. Put in some friggin effort!

Not from imbeciles like EG.
