Electrons are fantastically round, say British scientists | Science | The Guardian

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists at Imperial College London have made the most accurate measurement yet of the shape of the humble electron, finding that it is almost a perfect sphere, in a study published in the journal Nature today.
In particle physics , supersymmetry (often abbreviated SUSY ) is a symmetry that relates elementary particles of one spin to other particles that differ by half a unit of spin and are known as superpartners .

At last the cautious BBC voices physicists’ majority view that Gravity is not explained by the “Standard Model” of physics (Pallab Ghosh 25 May 2011) – meaning ‘gravitons’ are unreal – in an offhand comment on the electron-is-round story. Modern physics is trying to get to grips with a finite size electron.

Graviton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics , the graviton is a hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitation in the framework of quantum field theory .Graviton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics , the graviton is a hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitation in the framework of quantum field theory . If it exists, the graviton must be massless (because the gravitational force has unlimited range) and must be a spin 2 boson. This is because the source of gravitation is the stress-energy tensor , a second-rank tensor , compared to electromagnetism , the source of which is the four-current , a first-rank tensor.
THEORIES OF THE BRANE
The high concentration of the graviton near the brane—let's call the brane where gravity is localized the Planck brane —leads to a natural solution to the hierarchy problem in a universe with two branes.Other dimension gravitons as the dark matter source
Actually, that's exactly one possibility that's being explored by brane-world theorists. Of course, the jury is still out on brane-world theories.... "In brane-world theory, the ends of strings are anchored in our brane, so the particles we see can only move within the brane.

After a 10 year study Scientists find the shape of the Electron to be 'Fantastically Round'. Article published in Nature today. Could be the start of new physics. : Physics
Sorry to be argumentative but I'm not sure that's really true.
