Electrons are round!

SiliconWizard:
Electrons are just a fantasy anyway.
We all know that all there is, a bunch of hugging photons.
AndyBeez:
I always thought that in the world of quantum physics electrons are probably 'around' - but not certainly. When [if] there is Quantum Entanglement, the whole shape argument turns into a lava lamp of inseparable possibilities. Except where there is entropy.

+EDIT Just been asked, if electrons are round, then why are phone batteries flat  :-//

Oh, that's because the larger atoms have that pancake shape shown in Bryn's diagram above.  :P

Everything is photons. There is no such thing as a solid little nut (electron) orbiting a nucleus.

In an atom, what we have is a photon orbiting a nucleus. Let us name this an elektron. It has a negative charge. It radiates, & radiation needs energy. But, that radiation is little different to ordinary radiation that radiates from every photon all the time for ever. The energy comes from the aether, we dont know how. Elektrons migrating along in a wire give us (a slow) elektricity.


When a photon forms a loop (by biting its own tail) then it makes an electron. Electrons have a negative charge. Electrons can sit on & migrate on a surface -- or fly throo space – they give us static charge -- & movement (on a surface)(or through space) gives us (a slow) electricity.
The acceleration of an electron needs the input of energy. And apparently the acceleration of an electron needs additional input of energy to replace energy radiated by the acceleration.

What standard science calls electricity in a wire is actually due to photons hugging the surface of a wire. Let us name these elektons. Elektons have a negative charge. Elektons propagate at the speed of light, & give us (fast) elekticity.

Elektons & elektrons propagate at the speed of light all the time for ever, so in that sense there can be no acceleration of the propagation. But, elektons & elektrons can be made to change course or move or migrate, & i don’t know whether this requires input of energy.

And, we have (fast) Elekticity, & (slow) Elektricity, & (slow) Electricity -- 3 kinds.
And we can add the ionic form of (slow) electricity, where negative ions migrate -- this needs a new name -- iontricity praps.
And we can add the positive ionic form of (slow) electricity, where positive ions migrate -- this needs a new name -- positricity praps.
And if in the positricity the positive ions are simply protons then this needs a new sub-name -- protricity praps. So, we have 6 kinds of electricity.
TimFox:
Once again, if electricity “hugs the surface” of a wire, then why does the DC conductance (reciprocal of resistance) scale with the cross-sectional area, not the circumference?
