10-Year Study Reveals Electron Shape

lee1 writes "In a 10 year long experiment, scientists at Imperial College have made the most precise measurement so far of the shape of the electron. It's round. So round, in fact, that if the electron were enlarged to the size of the solar system, its shape would diverge from a perfect sphere less than the width of a human hair. The experiment continues in the search for even greater precision. There are implications for understanding processes in the early universe, namely the mysterious fate of the antimatter."

First I studied they were particles, then I studied they are actually mixture of waves and particles. Then I studied you cannot actually pinpoint it at all, and all you can know is probability density of its existence in space. Now, I read that they are extremely round.
My mind is full of fuck.

What about texture?

Is there a tiny ( - )sign on its surface?

What's even crazier

...is that God did that freehand.

They were hoping electrons were shaped like Pac-man. This would where the antimatter went.

You and several other clowns are in a clown

Sup dawg, I heard you like quantum physics, so I put a clown in your clown so you can juggle while you drive

Or it is irregular in shape

but spinning very very very very very very very fast.

If your father is made entirely of electrons I'd be shocked to meet him.
