[edit] Under construction!

I'll be adding more to this article in the next few days. Help is always welcomed! HEL 14:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

The following subsections need to be expanded:

  • Anomalous magnetic dipole moments - there's an update in a 2006 New Scientist article. --> left my notes on campus by mistake; will try to expand this later.
  • Positronium - explain. --> done.
  • Condensed matter. --> expanded a bit; condensed-matter expert needed.

I'll be trying to put in some work on these in the next few days. HEL 02:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm more or less done for now. HEL 00:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] units

In the lead we have

after special relativity which currently is tested [1] to 10-21 etc.

10-21 what? Do these quantaties have units, are they ratios. Without units the first line is meaningless. --Salix alba (talk) 00:51, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
