Nope, not @Iloveyou. Spotted this thread title on https://phys.org/ and got curious. On review, seemed to be a case of people talking past each other. Thought I would try a reset of the dialog to the original question, having encountered this particular dialog disconnect phenomena in other...

Ware literal-mindedness. It was a play on words: macro (scopic) intuition <--> micro (scopic) observation method.

Good -- gets to "chunkness" as a better fit to observation compared to "fluidness."

Gold star on where to start the human-scale, observable mechanical analogy intuition dialog. Consider a bin (one of those 6 gallon, bi-fold top mechandise bins) containing copper BBs, another containing water. BBs observably have, and maintain against manipulation (we exclude extreme conditions...

Good -- gets to why the condition of a multitude of intuitive mechanical analogy models does not persist in the scientific community as experimental data accumulates. However, everyone needs to surface the very first discrminator applied in the sci-method as a requirement -- falsifiability. This...

Good -- relates a macroscopically observable mechanical behavior (jerky, random walk, if, heh, through a microscope), observation of this behavior in a variety of experiements by a multitude of experimentors, to ask the question what conceptual, mechanical model (analogy, metaphor, physical...

So let's back up. The question from Iloveyou is not about the modern theory of electrons or nor about ways to convince Iloveyou of that theory. I suggest to other participants attempting to convince Iloveyou about electrons that you missed the question. Iloveyou's query is a meta-question about...
