Re: Electron size?

As far as I know electrons are still considered to be
point-like particles. The so-called "classical electron
radius" is only a theoretical abstraction.

The mass of the proton is about 1837 that of the electron
and their charges are opposite, but equal in magnitude.
What is the relation of the electron size compared with
that of the proton? How was this determined?
