RandomFactor writes:New measurements of Proton radius have shown that 2010 measurements, which showed an unknown interaction between protons and muons causing a puzzling reduction in proton radius, were in error.Almost ten years ago German physicists reported a reduction in the radius of Protons when electrons were replaced with Muons in Hydrogen atoms. This lead to hopes for new physics (the best kind) but these hopes have now been dashed.
