CORRECTION! i said proton decay when i meant neutron decay
the electron was first to be discovered in 1897 by physicist Sir Joseph John Thomson
later a Proton's resting mass was found to be % .99880242102 of a Neutron's resting mass
in a hydrogen atom, the electron orbit is 64,706 times the diameter of the proton
or doubling the neutrons diameter 16 fold or 2 to the 16th power "64K" or 65536
if the proton nucleus of a hydrogen atom were scaled up to a millimeter the electron would be orbiting 210 feet away
if the resting mass of the electron is 1,836 times smaller than the mass of a proton & if 12
is the cube root of this mass ratio is it 1/12 of the diameter or less than 1/10 millimeter across
nope the radius of the electron has not been determined exactly as its a point particle
with a sphere of influence several times larger than the radius of the proton &
Proton's & Neutron's are both made up of three point particles called quarks
the electrons its diameter is only know tho be less than 1/1000 the diameter of a proton
it maybe zero or it maybe a large permeable particle with an embedded point-like charge.
but if the size of the event horizon or Schwarzschild radius in a black hole is proportional
to the mass of the black hole you may choose to think of an electron as a non massive,
dimensionless singularity creating a gravity like sphere of influence
this has been a waptek for scale video request
PS:
Andrei Sakharov's proton decay hypothesis formulated in 1967 has no experimental evidence that it occurs.
& Positron emission in which a proton becomes a neutron – is not proton decay, since the proton interacts with other particles within the atom.
