So in high school we are taught the equation for force from electric fields or gravity is proportional to the distance squared. This implies that this force can become arbitrarily high as you approach closer to the point mass/charge.
In practice I realize that the point mass/charge does not...
There were plenty of equations that were within machine/measured accuracy, but they were far more complex and did silly operations. As you say the error of .08% is far more than the measured error so it is clearly not the correct equation.
Essentially I scored answers by their accuracy...
So I read somewhere about some equation that might explain the Electron/Proton mass ratio, but it was off by several percentage points and the equation seemed complicated.
Unfortunately I forget where I originally read this.
Anyway, I was not particularly impressed, so I wrote a C program to...
