I'm not educated, although I'm going to be an undergrad in September, and I'm trying to learn about cranks.

Milo Wolf doesn't seem to like the electron being a point particle and someone posted a link in another forum to the journal of theoretics dot com for experimental proof that it was.

Is the journal of theoretics dot com a trusted mainstream site?

I can try to give more information but since I am under 15 posts I cannot post links.

No, the journal of theoretics is not a reputable journal.
 
Thank you for the reply.
 
If you go to this website
http://scientific.thomson.com/index.html

at the bottom of the page, you can search for journals. If the journal isn't listed there, then it is likely not acceptable as a scientific reference.
