    let me share my wow moment.

    yesterday, if i can trade my life to understand any of the 3, i will.

    today i found them all, at least i believe.

    how do i feel?

    i want to transplant into a butterfly.
    Continue with your present behavior jccc and all you can rightfully expect from everyone here is for us to start ignoring you.

    As for myself, the time has come for me to do just that. Unless you start making some sense, and show real interest in learning and or sharing, you can expect no further replies from yours truly......................Bye, bye
    I'm with my dear friend Ethos_ . In fact I declare a boycott on jccc.

    What in the world are you talking about now? It's dumb stuff like this that makes us want to ignore you.

    I'm going to take a last shot and helping you understand orbitals and that's IT!!

    Atom, how is it build? If you only have two charged particles, 1 proton and 1 electron.

    According to physics  law, they attract each other, the closer the stronger. f=q1q2/r^2. they become a little dot with positive force field on one side and negative the other. That's not the atom we see.

    You have two choices, add more charge/matter or change your law. You forgot you have more matter, so you changed your law, one for logic, one for wish.

    You forgot only have 1 law, the truth.

    Do you really need to change your law? If you remembered the other matter that is the charged space itself.

    See if you can debunk the above, Pete.

    And this:

    A particle, should be either at rest or at speed v without extra force apply on it.

    If it is moving, it moves along straight line. If it hits something, it may pass through/halfway, reflect or deflect. It will lose momentum/speed anyways.

    Does any light or EM wave ever slowdown?

    If light is particle, how a particle hits mirror and reflect back? What bounces it back? The electron? The nucleus? The empty space within silver atoms?

    My theory is the space is negative charged elastic fluid. All things are within it.

    Positive charged nucleus attracts the negative charged fluid to form atom. The density of the fluid is Df=1/r^3. Electrons also attracted by positive charged nucleus and stable at atom radius where the attracting force is equal to the repel force. A demo

    The electrons around the atom is like bond by a spring, need force to push in or pull out from the nucleus. Now if a force is applied, the electron will vibrating and produce pressure/EM wave across the space around it. Every element has certain charge and bonding strength, therefore unique spectrum.

    If Coulombs's law stands universally, we should assume that every atom or charged particle are connected by their force field across the whole space.

    An atoms force field does not end at atom radius, but extend to infinity. In whole, an atom or planet maybe electrically neutral, but Every charge within has its own force field beyond distance, those forces overlapped to produce chemical bonding, magnetism and gravity. Ever wonder why is Fe=q1q2/r^2, Fg=m1m2/r^2, and mass proportional to proton numbers within it?

    If proton is in fact built by U and D quarks, then maybe the proton is like one small woman sleep between two fat man. It happens in real life. At least, the 3 quarks could electrically form into a group that we called proton.

    We should assume all nucleus have some degree of polarity according their unique charges carried and the structure of all quarks stick together.

    An iron atom maybe is a small magnet, the positive pole of the nucleus attract dense space fluid to form a force field that its density/strength drop off at 1/r^3, that matches the observation, and fits Coulombs law.

    To transmogrify into a butterfly you must undergo a metamorphosis.

    on a more serious note how do electrons survive floating in this negative charged eather

    how you survive all the enemies in the world around you? You have no where to go but within them.

    image the electron carries -1, the fluid carries - 1/10^20/cm^3. something like that.

    the electron surrounded by negative fluid, seeks any positive charges in sight, fly to the closest proton. getting closer, the dense negative fluid ball around the proton keeps it not too close. The attraction force is f=pxe/r^2, the repel force form the negative field strength is f=1/r^3, the 2 has to balance at atom radius.

    if this theory has merit, we may assume space is bounded by itself, therefore infinity.

    Infinity space/negative charged elastic fluid, with any amount of protons and electrons able to build universe. Centered by positive nucleus and space fluid ball and electron outer made atoms.

    No matter if proton number or charge equal to electron number or charge. As long opposite charges exist, groups will from. Any forces will act relatively.

    Who says the universe has to have same amount positive and negative charges? If there are only 100 protons and 100000 electrons, would matter/atom able to form?

    According to Coulombs law, the universe should be a little ball of matter sounded by empty space. The matter part is the two kinds of particles mixture.

    But it might not look like matter we know. Without negative charged space fluid, matter will be tooo dense to support life.

    QM atom structure suggests that atoms are like different sized ping pong balls.

    Negative electron orbital shell, empty space and center positive nucleus.

    3 questions, how electron not stick with nucleus?

    Why atoms deep in Planet center not crash under high pressure?

    How 2 O atoms form into 1 O2 since the shell of the 2 ping pong balls are all negative charged?

    What is space? Anywhere force able to reach is space.

    Electrostatic forces has no boundary, therefore space is infinity. Even there is only one charge exist it has boundless reach.

    From geometry view, 1,2,3 dimension all infinity.

    if there are only two electrons in empty space, they will along a straight line fly away forever.

    if 1 e 1 p, no matter how far away, they will along a straight line fly together. if they are solid balls, the atom/universe will be 2 connected balls with opposite force fields on each side.

    if the space is filled with positive charged elastic fluid, it will condensed to the electron to form nucleus and proton will be float at atom radius. an anti hydrogen.

    see, no matter how many electron or proton, no matter how big is space, no matter how much charge they each carries, if you got all 3, as long as forces exist between them, you can build universe.

    Yes the electrostatic force field of a proton is unbounded, and the electrostatic force of an electron is unbounded. But in a neutral atom those forces effectively cancel out at any mesoscopic or macroscopic distance. Use the equation you provide (Fe=q1q2/r^2) and calculate the net force on a particle of charge +1 if acted on by a proton of charge +1, at a distance of 1 mm and an electron of charge –1 at a distance of 0.99999995 mm. It's a pretty small number. Also since the electron's AVERAGE location is the same as the proton's AVERAGE location, these net AVERAGE force is ZERO.

    The inverse square law is the same for electrostatic and gravitational attraction because we live in a 3D world.

    You also forgot about the masses of the neutrons and electrons which should be included in the mass of a planet (the Earth has about 2 × 1021 kg of electrons)

    so far so good? thank you for inspiring me putting ideas out.

    if atomic structure theory was wrong, all theories about matter could be wrong. what is mass if matter carries no charge? if matter has no charge/force, how you measure it?

    maybe proton charge is not +1, the proton and fluid ball combined net charge is +1. we can never see a single proton or neutron, they all surrounded by fluid ball like a solid rock.

    maybe the size of proton and neutron are 1800 electron size, when they passing mass spectrometer, the space fluid inside the tube puts resistance on them, the bigger ball curves more. just like shoot two beach balls horizontally, the bigger ball drops faster. ???

    mass equal to matter's force field strength.  a gold ball contains more charges therefore heavier than a silver ball. when the ball moving in space, the resistance following speed, the faster you go the heavier you are.

    need sleep, later.

    That would be because the electrons of adjacent atoms repel each other, at close range (you can get more precise by including quantum effects).

    This is because in something of the scale of the Earth, the electromagnetic force is far stronger than the gravitational force.

    Take it up a notch, and take a white dwarf 1.5 times mass of the Sun. As it cools, it shrinks, and the force of gravity increases. The electrostatic force cannot hold the atoms apart, and it will collapse into a neutron star. But this effect does not occur for objects the mass of the Earth.

    That makes no sense whatsoever. Light is an electromagnetic wave. The energy of of an atom's gravitational field is miniscule compared to the energy carried by photons of light emitted by atoms.
