| Quote | | Did the same God that designed electrons to make an elliptical journery around neutrons also design the way planets make an elliptical journey around our sun? It’s a fair question is it not? |
Electrons don't care much for neutrons, Stephen. They are attracted by positive charges, and those are protons.
And those elliptical orbits of electrons in an atom are just an artist's impression. |
The wily Muramasa makes this point en fil. |

StephenB pulls back just a bit.
| Quote | | StephenB: The parallel analysis is far from perfect since the path of the electron is not so well understood, though it was once thought to be elliptical. |
Like, in 1913.
| Quote | | StephenB: Still, it seems pretty amazing to me that the micro relationship between electron/nucleus bears a strong resemblance to the macro relationship between planet/star. |
Then doubles down.
