Unless the radius of a proton was already knon, how would anyone
know that the retrodiction was correct?

A new paradigm already exists. The trouble is that nobody, other
than its sire, is willing or able to consider the merits of anything
that disagrees with the old one embedded in their mind.

Sad, but true. However, while that is the situation now, who knows
what the situation might be in the not-too-distant future? The
Ptolemaic paradigm eventually collapsed under the weight of its own
ungainly artificiality. I predict the same will eventually happen to
the substandard paradigm, starting with the just-so story known as
Quantum Chromodynamics, which is the weakest link of the substandard
model.

The trouble with the present paradigm began with the Ancient Greek
Philosophers' secret answer "No" to the unasked question "Is matter
compressible". THAT is the reason they created the theory that Matter
is made of particles traveling in an otherwise empty space.
Although atoms do exist and are particles, they are made of and
totally fillled with the same kind of COMPRESSIBLE

The trouble with the present paradigm began with
the Ancient Greek Philosophers' secret answer "No"
to the unasked question "Is matter compressible".
THAT is the reason they created the theory that Matter
is made of particles traveling in an otherwise empty space.
Although atoms do exist and are particles, they are made
of the same kind of COMPRESSIBLE matter that fills each
of them and the spaces between them too.
Accordingly, the strongest link in the present paradigm,
the kinetic atomic theory, is itself the "weakest link" of all
present models.

Once that is known, it becomes rather easy to work out the
mechanisms of gravity, light, quanta, and everything else that
exists in the universe.

Exactly.

I think it is conceptually cleaner to name the 'compressible'. I have
named it mæther. Matter is compressed mæther and aether is
uncompressed mæther.
