If you multiply your value by the fine structure constant, you get the classical electron radius. If you divide by the fine structure constant, you get the Bohr radius. This has to "mean" something. ;) >Dea Robin, > > I ran the numbers, and the radius comes out even larger than the >"Classical Electron Radius".
