If the cloud around the nucleus of the atom is the electron, then... isn't the electron stationary? Then it's not in orbit around the atom in any way, in fact, it's just stationary "around it" right?

Damn, I've been taught some weird stuff in school.

[cassiopeiaproject]

@magichristo In a sense it is stationary as you describe.

What's the name of that periodic table at 3:04?

[cassiopeiaproject]

@WouldbeSage As mentioned in the QM credits movie, It is called "The Most Beautiful Periodic Table Poster in the World" and it is available at theodoregrey-dot-com-slash-per­iodictable

I'd plow Diana.

@magichristo Actualy we dont know where the electron is, we just now the probability of finding it ina certain part of the space, the cloud is a probability cloud according to the square of the wave function predicted by Max Born.. Weird is in it? But remember, someone that thinks he understands quantum mechanics, it Doesnt

too bad the information provided is totally warped by the incoherent visual and sound design. Even teletubbies make more sense.

Please remake the video in a more.... logical way. /spock

[MrMaxBoivin]

Damn, couldn't watch... the (bad) animation was distracting me too much.

[IvanderHaisley]

@magichristo the electron could is not really a cloud .. the term arises to comply the need to an answer that a dot will represent a place where the electron most likely to be located .. in an electron cloud . dots represent a location in which an electron might be located and the denser the dots get .. the more likely the electron is there at any given time

@cassiopeiaproject isn't it stationary and non stationary :?

[mamltr]

you made science so simple and amazing.

@cassiopeiaproject Hey at the beginning of the universe they said anti particle just vanished,but why? If it vanished at the beginning,why did they reappear? It seems like they are trying to say somehow anti particles didn't existed until many of the known particles were created in the short few mini seconds of creation. They didn't even explain why the anti particles disappeared. This is the video: /watch?v=us6BZ1Dp2_8&feature=r­elated . hope you can explain a little.

@cassiopeiaproject Not good: it needs to be updated because there is no reference to unobtanium and I am mad! LOL
