The Bhor model of the atom explains it quite nicely, until you try to get more precision than the model is capable of producing. It is only an approximation, like QM, to some deeper underlying physics.

Describe to me the force that keeps the negative electron from crashing into the positive proton...

Oh, by the way. Some one who's name escapes me at the moment, had deduced that when GR was applied to the universe as a whole expantion occurs as a result, at approx. the rate which we have 'emperically' deduced. This was before Hubbles observations.

And calm down. Sarcasm is crude, but not as crude as yelling.

I laugh at this because I have taken two years of electronics. You cannot re-vamp those equations to suit a particular need. They are only applicable to the use they were designed for.
Sure, a wrench works like a hammer... But you'll agree (maybe not) that it is not the tool for the job.

And, if you don't mind my saying, you get real. I'll live in a phantasy world/universe when I am good and ready to give up and die.
I can say what I want to, even if I'm not serious. It's America. If you aren't from around here, I FORGIVE YOU, and whatever educational system that spawns such backward thinking.
