Quantum Mechanics

http://www.myspace.com/acorvettes
The Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who worked in Rutherford's lab, was the first to describe orbits of fixed size and energy in which electrons are free to travel without losing energy and falling toward the nucleus. According to this model, published in 1913, electrons can only occupy or jump between fixed energy levels and cannot reside in between these levels. In addition, once in their "ground state," electrons maintain the energy they contain. This energy keeps them in perpetual motion, allowing them to resist the attractive force of the nucleus.

@CosmicCaprice I assume you believe that transistors don't exist, because quantum tunnelling is impossible? And solar cells, which depend on the photoelectric effect, also don't exist? And what about fermionic condensates and bose-einstein condensates? Ever heard of the double slit experiment? Franck-Hertz? Millikan's Oil Drop? Do some research. Quantum mechanics is physics, and you're spouting nonsense.

@evanlamarche We understand this. Protons and neutrons, the primary parts of the nucleus, are both thousands of times heaver than electrons, so (for a hydrogen atom, at least) it isn't a bad approximation to assume that the proton is infinitely massive in comparison to the electron. As for why electrons and protons affect eachother "equally": they both have a single unit charge. Also, electrons exist in orbits in atoms described by sphereical harmonics.

Just amazing. Heisenberg is a genius!

Admirable but some how the nucleus and the electrons must effect each other equally.A true law must be made to describe the orbits of electrons.Plus,Why doesn’t the nucleus orbit the electrons.It’s never like that,so somehow they must be connected at a Quantum-gravitational way.When that is dissevered, we have an elegant law describing the quantum level and a unification of gravity.

Amazing...

admirable and mindblowing

@snuffsan you may believe in those pictures, but i don't; i think they are fake. not until i see them via my own practice and equipments i would not accept any picture anybody shows me and expects me to accept what he says without disagreements. no, a good thought is a curious and questioning thought, not an always agreeable passive thought.

if i'm placed in a dark place i can assume i'm located anywhere surrounded by anything i imagine, but a ray of light in the place proves me wrong.

@CosmicCaprice rofl there actually ARE pictures of atoms taken with electron microscopes. And you should check what the definition of a >scientific theory< is, it's not the same as the common word "theory"

[CosmicCaprice]

bla bla bla... the fact is that no one has yet seen any atoms, electrons, protons, etc. they're just THEORIES (abstract ideas). and if you ask, why we haven't see these patricles yet, they quantum mechanics bullshitters say, well they move too fast no one can see them, we just believe they're there. yes, QM is the knowledge of make belief, THE PARTCLES DO NOT EXIST. in other words, QM tells us about non-existing particles and how they behave. but wait! shouldn't they exist before we study them?

That wave function has ruined my life
