Pankaja_Dasa Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I asked a devotee a question he gave me a wonderful reply which I shall post here: One question for them. If the electron is moving around nucleaus of Atom, where it is getting it's energy. Is something being consumed. If so is it's radious of rotation is decreasing? If so all atoms are being compressed? -Name of devotee withheld for privacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rotation is only half the story - electrons can also be descibed as energy clouds around the nucleus. Because you can't tell velocity and position exactly at the same time (thanks, Heisenberg) the electron is seemingly a "wave" as well as matter at the same time. Google Wave/Particle Duality for more. There is nothing metaphysical about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pankaja_Dasa Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I googled it it says that light is the basis. From what I read, ! By the way that quote I posted was given to me by a devotee who's a scientist himself. quote from a site: wikipedia: The wave-particle paradox is resolved in the theoretical framework of quantum mechanics. This framework is deep and complex and therefore impossible to adequately summarize in brief. i'm not that intelligent but is it saying that it all 'moves' because of light?

Avinash Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 If the electron is moving around nucleaus of Atom, where it is getting it's energy.The energy is because of the force on the negatively charged electron by the positively charged nucleus. Is something being consumed.No. Why should there be? If so is it's radious of rotation is decreasing? If so all atoms are being compressed?If the electron were of definite position and would move in any orbit, then the radius would definitely decrease. But in reality you think in terms of electron cloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
