Measuring the Length of Photons and Protons
The chapter explores the challenges of measuring the sizes of quantum particles like protons and electrons, focusing on the concept of defining the boundary and size of particles in the quantum realm. Discussions include historical experiments, methods of interaction with particles, and comparisons of measuring the size of protons versus photons, delving into the uncertainty and theoretical definitions of length in quantum physics.
