For Jacks attention Paul, my memory re the electron microscope was false.. Seeing the atom is not seeing the electron apparently.. This tells of seeing an atom which may be what gave me the memory from the 1950's. http://www.ornl.gov/info/ornlreview/rev28-4/text/atoms.htm And this from another web site is probably why, and it makes sense..so far as it goes. "What is an electron? Never in history has anyone been able to even imagine the structure of an electron. Until very recently, the electron was thought to be a 'point' made of an unknown, undefineable substance called 'charge'. Since a point has no dimensions, there is no structure and nothing to see." Strictly not true and further more, the electron has been weighed, and though being small, that still does not make it a point which is non existent except as a mathmatical concept. It is a particle of material matter. But the follow up , "The electron is a wave structure. Recently this structure was found (see: A Wave Structure for the Electron) to be two concentric spherical moving quantum waves. One wave moves inward and one wave moves outward. This spherical wave pair has the familiar properties of an electron which we call mass and charge, as well as all other properties. When you look below, for this first time in history you can see the radial amplitude of these electron waves moving on your screen. You will see three diagrams." This is pure conjecture, and the word "quantum" is like the word evolution.. a concept and nothing else.. However I would not deny you the concept at all and you may find the whole description here . http://members.tripod.com/mwolff/see.html I hope you can quark it.. But really I can empathise with quantum theory. It relegates all matter to absolutely nothing but wave structured energy. Which is more akin to how a God (pure energy with intelligence) would control all creation. Its good for the aether theory as well. Jack if you read this site, you will notice that it relegates all orbital electrons and the classical model of the atom to the waste bin. Whilst that hurts my grasp of reality, it does does seem to make reality more comprehensible. A single hydrogen atom in space of a lonely proton with an electron somewhere miles away orbiting it , and nothing else in between is a bit hard to take.

I thought this wouldn't work for the same reason that light microscopes can't see molecules. Please don't press me for an explanation -- I'm on very shaky ground here. Proton/neutron did sound an alarm if nothing else from the position of mass but I thought it might just be my ignorance. Proton/electron being a neutron I had not heard previously. The masses and equalised charge sound plausible. Won't venture further. I don't question that the various particles are detectable and countable. IBM wrote -- it is claimed -- "IBM" by depositing individual atoms on a substrate. I don't question that either. What would it profit them to lie? And such feats have a habit of cropping up in next year's trendy disposable toys thoughtlessly and without any sense of wonder, used to fill holes in the ground. We are surrounded by Philistines Phil ... er ... moving right along! |[:-) Philip, I don't think I can recall a single instance of your claiming that any part of science is faked. On the contrary, you seem concerned to preserve what is known and to seek to incorporate it into your philosophy. That you do so by what I see as an artifact is the point where we diverge but right up to that point I have noted many instances where I admire your insight. Keep astonishing me. The Bible was written by God? I seem to recall you agreeing with me that it was not but was written by men who claim to have been guided by God. My suggestion of rewriting a section of the Bible would contain no blasphemy but rather would simply contain the caveats you seem to crave in science reporting. And Pilate's utterance "What is truth?" is about as profound a question as can be asked.
