CODATA Proton Charge Radius; The History Of This Fundamental Measurement 

Haramein’s holographic solution accurately predicted the mass and radius of the proton in 2012 [2, 3], resulting in a radius 4% smaller than the Standard Model and experiments gave at the time. This prediction that does not utilize adjusting parameters, was later confirmed at the Paul Scherrer Institute utilizing muons in a proton accelerator. Further experiments utilizing electrons confirmed the radius in 2017-2018. The value of the proton RMS charge radius has since been validated by the adjusted 2018 CODATA value, which is the standard for all fundamental physical constants.

It’s been almost two years since the charge radius of the proton was finally confirmed experimentally by a September 2019 study from Eric Hessels [1], of York University in Canada, and his colleagues.  

In his paper entitled Quantum gravity and the holographic mass (published in 2013, though the work was sent to...

Weak Charge Of The Proton Measured For The First Time

Article by Dr. Amira Val Baker, Astrophysicist, Resonance Science Foundation Research Scientist

Charge – that is the degree to which an entity is affected by an external force – comes in all shapes in sizes. Now for the first-time scientists have been able to determine the weak charge of the proton.

The weak force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature and is significant in radioactivity – the spontaneous emission of energy and/or subatomic particles i.e. an unstable nucleus will decompose spontaneously (decay) into a more stable configuration. Note, this is done by emitting specific particles and/or specific amounts/forms of energy. For example, radioactive beta decay transforms a neutron into a proton, an electron, and an electron anti-neutrino.

The standard model describes these forces in terms of the exchange of virtual force carriers. In this model the weak force is thought to interact thorough the exchange of the massive (~ 100 x mass of a proton)...
