Thank you. That answers my question.

When I've heard and read about the electron "cloud", orbitals where constantly shifting electrons move at breakneck speeds and we cannot model with certainty but only with probabilities of where electrons are likely to be found, I can't help thinking of a wave. It seems to me that it almost...

I've always sensed that our description of light as a wave is misleading. I can imagine it ACTUALLY being a progressive wave moving up and down because wouldn't that contradict the very idea of special relativity? Some light would would travel faster than others because not only is there the...
