Also I reffed a SA article that was speculating on the properties of the elements in the next row in the periotic table. Which should cause the s1 electrons to get closer to the nucleus there by raising their energy. Could this increase climb to the level of 200 x that of the electron. So as...

As for the ? About the title. H G Wells my friend. My third year college son got it and he hates physics.

I was really thinking of the possibilities of the Feynman diagrams and the fact that the LHC can accelerate fermions to great energies. And what you have just said I've never come across in any of the literature I can read (arXive is way above my pay grade so I was curious. The non tech plain...

One more thing. If relativity says speed equals weight than an electron can become a muon unless Feynman was just plain all baffoon. I assumed the answer would be no but was just thinking out of the box. But I can stand some ribbing cause I've read that Feynman was in fact all baboon, Einstein...

Just an afterthought. Mathematics can imply or define reality but has no causal effect.

My faux pa it was late. But to say that two split experiment does not exist I can only say this was not my terminology I used. And to say that it is the wave function does the interfering I must refer you all to the June 2013 issue of Scientific American. See the cover. My questions are the...

Now wait a minute the instructions said to be catchy and if I could refer you all to the June 2013 issue of Scientific American page 52 under the title Breaking Bad? you will find that my question is not superfluous but merely the want of knowledge from an amature curious seeker.

If the energy levels get closer together as l aproaches infinity isn't that pretty much the definition of a limit and if so wouldn't that limit be calculable? Realizing of course the relative effects as proton numbers increase past 118. Thereby giving limits to the ryberg effect? PS thanks for...

As nuclear charge increases electron speed (closest to the nucleus) increases. How many protons in a hypothetical atom (trans ununoctium ) would it take before the innermost electron transmutes into a muon and would it decay or be stable?

If leptons can stack up on top of each other and not interfere than how can a single lepton do so in the two split experement?

There are electron energy levels up to 118 Ununoctium. So my question is. How many levels can a valence electron occupy above 118 before there are no more levels and the atom becomes a Ryberg atom and what determines this number and is this number the same for hydrogen.
