For any model of the atom there is something that will have to be
demonstrated. How they are physically connected so that animation can
occur.

You are sitting at your computer typing a message. The cat jumps up and
walks on your keyboard. You curse it, swat it off and it lets out a =
squall.

What makes all of those atoms move in synchronization?

I'm a rather simplistic person with simplistic thoughts. I've been a
technician all of my life, so I tend to look at things from a more =
systemic
and mechanical viewpoint. More often than not, I would have to figure =
out
how something worked, and then repair or modify it.

My understanding is that this is a bipolar universe. The physical laws =
we
have established work. Definitely on earth, anyway. They are the =
building
blocks of our knowledge. Until we sent vehicles out into space our view =
and
perceptions of the universe was done through a several mile thick layer =
of
dust, water vapor, various gases, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, =
and
radiation belts, all in motion. Don't forget the occasional airplane.
Until such time that we have an undistorted view of what is really out
there, we must work with what is here. Our various theories on the atom =
are
derived from that one of the electron spinning around the nucleus, which =
may
be fundamentally flawed. In regards to my statement about

your answer

is indicative of a lot of scientific thought. Things are taken for =
granted
and enlarged upon.

As that model of a positive core with a negative shell was derived on =
this
planet, and this is a bipolar planet, what would that suggest to you
concerning the geometry and nature of matter? Sounds like a bunch of
bubbles bunched together. In definite and large patterns. In definite =
and
large patterns that are even animate. Some of those patterns are even
allegedly capable of abstract reasoning. Extend that model beyond our
planet and you have a universe of bunched bubbles. A universe of =
insides
and outsides. What gives them pattern? What in modern day physics =
would
make that a more likely model than others? Especially since all of this
matter was supposed to have started out as one thing? Quite frankly, =
that
model looks more like a fertilized egg than the random dispersion of =
matter
so many physicists would prefer.

What makes a positive and negative revolving around a neutral less =
likely?
Seems more logical if a single particle suddenly expanded or exploded.
Maybe the glue that held it all together got stretched and the resulting
tension is what positive and negative is all about. That neutral acting =
as
a bearing makes more sense than an orbiting electron's centrifugal force
keeping it from crashing. Due to the density of matter and the constant
bumping into each other's areas, wouldn't negative electron shells that
approached each other with opposing orbits slow down the speed some, =
causing
a valence jump or electron-proton collision? How long would it take a =
bar
of gold to turn into something else with that sort of activity?

There is a logic to the universe. We are part of it. We have that =
logic
within us. All we have to do is start applying it to figure out what it =
is
all about.

Sorry for the rant, and the generalizations.
