in our level of the universe a shuttle can orbit the earth due to the right velocity at the right distance from the planet and its gravitational pull between the two objects so that the pull down is countered by the velocity forward by the shuttle.

Kind of. The pull isn't countered in any way, it's simply that the shuttle is going so fast that as it falls towards the Earth, the Earth moves away under it at an equal rate.

in the case of electrons and protons the force is not gravity but electromagnetism and an electron is basicly pure negative energy
|
Not true. An electron is not "pure negative energy". Negative energy doesn't exist except in a mathematical way. And "pure energy" doesn't exist at all. Energy is a term used to describe how much work something is capable of performing. It manifests in reality in different ways depending on what you're talking about and in the context of what theory. For example General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics do not describe energy the same way.

and so my lamen theory is that the more energy the electron has the faster it goes and subsequently the stronger the attraction to the proton so no matter how strong the force to come down is the velocity matches to sustain an orbit. does that make any sense?
|
Not really. The attraction that the two particles feel on each other is based mostly on the distance between them. Any magnetic force felt by the particles would manifest differently I believe. Furthermore, as the electron "orbits" the nucleus, under classical mechanics it should radiate its energy away as EM radiation and fall into the nucleus. This does not happen and was initially explained about 90 years ago by Niels Bohr at the beginnings of Quantum Mechanics.

the exciting of electron and proton increases the magnetic force between the two and accelerates the electrons and the electrons closest to the nucleus are the strongest and fastest causign more repulsion toward the other electrons above it and boom the outer most and weakest electron is both accelerated and repulsed more causing it to fly off. does that make any sense at all?
|
Again, no. Keep in mind that charged particles are screaming past each other at near light speed all over the place in space. If your idea was correct one could expect to see those particles being captured by oppositely charged particles since the force between them would be incredibly high. But this does not happen.

I warned you I was a total lamen in the beginning so I expect a you idiot type of response but hoping that this lamen explanation makes some kind of sense on some level. oh and as for the super hero story chat perhaps you can repel objects by simultaniously creating negative charge to both the object and yourself to repel them without destroying the objects or like was said earlier to create a gravity field behind the object or to attract more mass behind an object to attract a gravity weapon by creating something of a "lightning" rod or rather gravity rod by having more mass behind the ball to attract it than in front of it. kind of like how magneto used his power in the x-men how he could move objects by manipulating magnetic fields both around himself but anywhere within his range to move objects almost as well as telekenisis.

The key is HOW could one do this. How do we alter an electromagnetic field? We move charges or magnets around or work with EM radiation. That's it. Each one of those concepts has very very specific rules and consequences and cannot be altered at a whim. We cannot "create" charges either. Nor can we alter gravity unless we move around LOTS of mass or energy. (Which itself requires energy in the first place) The field itself cannot be manipulated in any other way.
