Yes, I've actually taught myself from the Blitzer textbook over a summer maybe two years ago (at about .75-1 chapter a week). The book is actually very easy to learn from - has lots of pictures and graphs, and is written in a simple manner. It's very cheap @ Amazon.com...

I know that it wasn't until the first 10-34 seconds after the birth of the Universe, that gravity " evolved" and at the time the temperature was 100 million trillion trillion degrees. Does that mean that within the first moments even before this time, gravity did not exist? And if so, then does...
Ah, of course. I can't believe I overlooked that, it makes sense to me now...so when you're dividing the charge by the mass, you're not necessarily trying to divide one into another (?), but determining the ratio between the two. Got it!
Thanks for your help, and the welcoming :)
Got it. It makes sense that the collision would be elastic now, because you're right it would require energy. Now that I think about it, the orbitals are pretty far apart in terms to the size of an electron anyways.
Thanks
Well, that's my question. What happens when they deflect. There must be more than a billion billion billion atoms in the universe, and so eventually at least one pair of electrons should crash, no?
I'm having trouble understanding how you would divide the charge of an object by its mass. How can you divide a charge - I mean isn't it either positive or negative? I understand that the charge is equal to the 6.25 × 1018 so an electron would have a charge of −1.602 x 10-19.
I guess my...
My knowledge of chemistry is almost nil - but anyways, I was wondering - what happens when two electrons in the same shell collide? From what I understand is that electrons do not travel in a perfect orbit and randomly wobble a bit. If this is true, then isn't it possible that one electron [in...
