Consider the history of the charge of the electron according to Feynman: > It's interesting to look at the history of measurements of the charge of an electron, after Millikan. If you plot them as a function of time, you find that one is a little bit bigger than Millikan's, and the next one's a little bit bigger than that, and the next one's a little bit bigger than that, until finally they settle down to a number which is higher. http://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/264/timeline-of-measurements-of-the-electrons-charge http://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/264/timeline-of-measu...
