Wait all this math actually means something
 
So like when we talk about electrons and things we talk about orbitals and stuff and we have all this math to work out where an electron exists around a nuceus and you run the math through your computer and you get all these crazy orbitals and clearly they're not real because nobody has ever seen themm....
bazang
Basically people have made really clear images of atomic orbitals for the first time (we've had murky pictures before but these are realy good). And they look just how we think they should work.

Yes, but can your math solve for Love?

Bookworm, what happened in that alley was special, but it's past now.

That doesn't look anything like a tiny solar system. This is worse than learning that dinosaurs have feathers everything!

Professor Smarmiarty 08-29-2011 05:58 AM

Do they even teach electrons flying around in circles anymore? I'm pretty sure I never was taught that. As soon as we learnt about where electrons are we learnt that they're not big circle things.

Every diagram of an atom i've ever seen is like a little solar system though if they were actually teaching that this was literal I dunno i was busy looking at pictures of tiny solar systems

Like on tv and shit they use pictures like that for atoms becuase they easy to recognise. But pretty sure they're not in any textbooks anymore even for like high school kids.

Behold the power of chemistry and math:
Iron Man = Fe Male.

Oh, if we're doing chemistry jokes:

.....Fe
..../...\
Fe......Fe
....\.../
.....Fe

It's a ferrous wheel.

Wait wait wait wait wait...

So they aren't little balls?
