Explanation why dosen't the electron fall into the nucleus?

In summary, the reason why electrons do not fall into the nucleus is due to the quantized energy levels and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The electron is spread out in a probability distribution that cannot shrink to fit inside the nucleus, preventing it from completely falling into the nucleus. This is explained by Bohr's postulates and later quantum theory, and is the current conventional reason for why electrons remain in orbitals around the nucleus.

The discussion on deBroglie-Bohm theory should end here in this thread, and restart if necessary in another thread (or one of the numerous EXISTING threads already made).

Why? Given that it's the only known way to sensibly answer the OP's question.

"Sensible" is relative, and so is YOUR judgment that it is the "only known way".

Please do such discussion elsewhere, or this thread will be locked for going off-topic.

Look, I don't want to argue with you Zapper, but we were having a discussion about what it means to answer the OP's question. In no way is this 'off-topic'. What you mean is that the discussion was couched in terms of a theory of QM that you personally happen not to like. And that's fine - but you shouldn't try to ban such a discussion because of your personal preferences.
