Electron Orbits and Nuclei 2- Rotation vs Orbital Motion

[maverick_starstrider]

We can, in fact, prove that the situation ISN'T that there's this little pee-like thing shooting around which DOES have a certain position and momentum we just don't know what it is. This is called a hidden variable theory (i.e. there are actually concrete hidden variables ). (This is due to what is called the bell inequality). Well to be ultimately correct we can prove/have experimentally verified that any hidden variable theory would have to be non-local (nevermind what that means).

I'm hoping you meant pea-like thing...

I feel like Feynman probably talked about the relativistic hydrogen atom in his book QED which was written for layman. It might be worth checking out.

Lol. Yes, you would hope. Ah the horrors of stream of consciousness typing without spellcheck or review... I'm not going to fix it though. This thread could use a little levity.

...stream of consciousness...

See now you're just making it worse...
