[SOLVED] Perpetual Motion within an atom?
I have something to add to this. Since I don't quite understand what the guy above said I'm sorry if I repeat a question of his.
If electrons are goin' around an atom with a balance of kinetic and Potential energy, and they've been spinning since the dawn of time, doesn't that entail perpetual motion? I doubt thay've slowed down any since ther is nothing for them to friction against like in our everyday lives.
I've even asked my physics teacher and he didn't know. (I'm in High School) Then again this is a bit out of his scope I think...
