And who cares? What counts is whether anyone else is happier and happier
with your model. 
Your happiness is fed by self-delusion. How can that possibly matter??

It’s under active investigation. Active investigation is fun.

They CAN have trajectories when unbound.

Funny how they are being CONTROLLED by electric and magnetic fields at
the time.

Funny how they act like a wave under some circumstances and as a particle
under others.

Funny how the Uncertainty Principle works for these electrons in the TV
tube, just as it forbids electrons following distinct teeny tiny paths
around the nucleus of an atom.

Funny how you don't understand a word of what I just wrote.

Oh, and electrons outside of the atom aren’t?
Where do those fields come from, in the atom?
The other electrons do nothing?

You are so far away from understanding anything, Michael!

That is a stupid question, probably a red herring.

The subject was electrons *in cathode-ray tubes*.

> Where do those fields come from, in the atom?

Electric charge.

> The other electrons do nothing?

What do you think they are doing?

> You are so far away from understanding anything, Michael!

No, you are, but you are too ignorant and incompetent (yet) to realize it.

Don’t give your Dunning Kruger BS

Do electrons influence each other when bound in the atom?
And how would you say that happens?

Answer or fuck off

electrons travel down copper wires.
bounded loosely by the copper atoms the electrons slide along, sometimes
very fast, 90% c.   Good high school physics problem.

google "drift velocity"

That is because so far they have all been bad ideas.

Terribly bad.  Like your posting and quoting style.

“Terribly bad.  Like your posting and quoting style.”
Only thing bad is they make so much more sense than the non-model that you and others support.
You’ve back-pedalled so much you’re totally conflicted in every direction.
Do electrons move within the atom?
No?
But it’s 99% empty!

No.

LOL.  Oh the hubris.

Of course.  As particles, electrons are assumed point-like, i.e. they do not
have any volume at all.  And a nice, common analogy is that if an atom has
the size of the Munich Olympic Stadium (a football stadium), then the
nucleaus has the size of a corn of rice placed in the centre of the kick-off
point.

Think about it.  How could the atom NOT be “99% empty”?

You possibly understand the difference between doing a calculation and
writing down a number. Or maybe not. 

Here’s an elementary example, John. You’re standing next to a tall
building. You look down and see your shadow, and thanks to some sidewalk
tiles you know are 4” squares, you can measure your shadow to be 9.5 tiles
long. Then you pace off the length of the shadow of the building and find
that it’s 152 paces long. How high is the building? 

Can you do this math? The early preSocratic Greeks could.

“
Odd, this is one of the more interesting ideas to come out of my model- that there will be this gravitational zone above large planets where towards the planet and towards Space will both be ‘Up’.
And clouds will float up both directions, some clouds preferring towards the planet, and some clouds preferring towards Space.
And there will be a middle layer of dust and debris.

Sound like Jupiter?

It’s a demonstration of a basic math skill. So you can get started with the
math of your idea. 

Can’t do this one? You won’t be able to do that one.

Why? Mathematics is just a language. You are asking to start with plain
English first and then translate into math. That’s not the way bilingual
people talk. They will start with the language best suited to express it.
You are not owed an explanation in the only language you know. In this
subject, you are expected to be bilingual with mathematics being one of
them. Frustrated by that?

Yes, scientists do. Note that they use two languages to describe, switching
from one to the other fluidly. You can’t do that, note.
