mousser69 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Is the hydrogen atom the one with the intermitent or disappearing proton ?
mathematic Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Hydrogen atom consists of one proton and one electron - neither disappearing or intermittent.
mousser69 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Ok, what atom is that ? I saw it on cosmos. Please. A molecule ?
swansont Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Ok, what atom is that ? I saw it on cosmos. Please. A molecule ? Any way you can provide an actual quote to the information in question? 1
mousser69 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 The beginning started w/ hydrogen, but then was shown a molecule with an intermittent electron? Im curious about what this was, and didn't record the show.

mousser69 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) The closest thing I can think of is that quantum mechanics says we don't know where the electron is when we aren't observing it. ok, I have a theory of where the electron is, and why you cant observe it. I got the idea while watching the iss pass overhead. So, can you listen to my theory, or point me in the right direction. And when I mean listen, just let me write it, and then have someone try the equation ? Edited April 27, 2014 by mousser69
Endy0816 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) It is typically explained via particle-wave duality. This: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital#Electron_properties provides a good overview. I'll be honest, I despair of any insights spontaneously arising without the person having a firm grounding in a subject. Universe runs on its own terms and cares not a whit for human understanding. If you still want to though, you can open a new thread in Speculations and people can critic your hypothesis there. Edited April 28, 2014 by Endy0816

You are free to post such an idea in Speculations.
