Electrons Are Incredibly Close to Being Perfect Spheres | HYDRAULICS - News
The wee electron has gotten its most thorough physical examination yet, and scientists report that it is almost, almost a perfect sphere. Researchers at Imperial College London have determined the electron is just 0.000000000000000000000000001 centimeter off from being perfectly round. Put another way, if the electron was magnified to the size of the solar system, it would deviate from immaculate rotundity by a magnitude equivalent to a human hair. There are 26 zeroes after that decimal, in case you don’t feel like squinting to count them out. The good.
