Alan, the proton is about 1800 times more massive than the electron.

Like all attracting pairs, the two bodies actually orbit each other, but 
the one that is more massive is the one that displaces the least. Do you 
understand why?
This is why the earth goes around the sun more than the sun goes around 
the earth, and also why the electron goes around the proton more than 
the proton goes around the electron.

I'm really having a hard time understanding why you play this way to 
generate complete nonsense. Can you account for why you do this?
