Aha, it just hasn’t started collapsing yet,
but give Obama time...

Okay everybody....be very, very still.
Ha! Great...I had never seen that one.
“But a circling charged object would emit radiation and lose energy. Over time its orbit would get smaller and smaller. Eventually it would crash into the nucleus.”
I think the key, as you said, is that the electron really isn’t “orbiting” the nucleus, in the classical sense. We just think about it that way because it’s easier for us to conceive than what is really going on. The electrons form standing waves, so they are oscillating in place, rather than moving through the field, so there is no induction. I think what we see as the electron’s position is just the most prominent node of the wave at that particular time.
The particles in the nucleus are standing waves also, and this is the reason that we see quantization, because waves can only form stable arrangements with each other based on the laws of harmonics, so you end up with only rational values being feasible.
“Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do”
I think that should be “two wrongs never make a right, but three lefts do”.
Ok, but is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
the universe should have collapsed just microseconds after its explosive birth, the new study suggests.
Time is relative to the observer.
I haven't kept up to see if this is still a going theory. It would be interesting if it turned out he was right, but that physicists resisted his theory because the math would be too difficult to work with. After all, points are easier to model than toroidal sheets.
God.
Yeah, but then you get the question, what if the entire universe is just God's way of messing with our heads?
It would explain a lot.
“It would be interesting if it turned out he was right, but that physicists resisted his theory because the math would be too difficult to work with. After all, points are easier to model than toroidal sheets.”
I think that kind of thing definitely happens, at least when we get to the level of QM. As long as we can get results that work well enough for our needs, I don’t think most scientists are too particular if the model actuality reflects the underlying reality in the most accurate way.
Beresith bara Elohim ....... In the beginning God created ......
just searched to see what the universe looks like in 3D. Boy I wish I had 3D glasses! This one, looks like lots of neurons.

This one is ok, too.
