What do these studies imply?Does this mean that we don't understand the basic structure of the atomas well as we thought? Does a 4% difference matter? Perhaps therewas a calculation error and this newest technology that was used in thisexperiment is just off somewhat. Since now the Rydberg constant wouldnow be different, does this through a glitch into the whole concept ofquantum theory? Should we care? While protons are measured infemtometers are a lot smaller than nanometers (1000times), all matter iscomposed of protons, electrons and neutrons. So when someone says yourprotons are smaller than they thought, you should take note.

Do you think this discovery brings in a new problem, since we have been doing our calculations based on our old measurements, and we haven't faced problems yet.
