Well, all I know is that those dudes at CERN aren't crackpots. This physicist works at CERN, physics department of Boston University, Institute of Theoretical Physics in Spain. He has a resume longer than my noodle, that's all I can say.
I also know that the smaller proton radius found in muonic hydrogen experiments threatened QED. His theories reconcile QED and the measurements of muonic hydrogen. This paper was also published in *Physics Letters B*<http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/03702693> Volume 693, Issue 5<http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=PublicationURL&_tockey=%23TOC%235539%232010%23993069994%232461736%23FLA%23&_cdi=5539&_pubType=J&view=c&_auth=y&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=4fbee109e6b658ae42bf960ca24e45db>, 18 October 2010, Pages 555-558 But I'm l33t so I found it online for free: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1008/1008.3861v3.pdf I might be nothing and nobody in terms of science understanding, but when dudes from CERN talk I listen. The key point is the differentiation between the root mean square (charge radius) and the halo. The halo is real, the charge radius is simply a mathematical formulation, kind of like the Bohr radius. Peace.
