I wonder why today every body is hanging on to what is believed to be atoms?
I learned at school about atoms and molecules.atoms are the smallest particle of matter, which have still all the characteristics of that matter. but if a core releases a photon,it was not the smallest particle,the atom I mean.Then they say its a particle without mass...Like a car without a car.Then they say its the fastest speed possible,light travels at a fixed speed.
Today there are gyroscopes working with a coiled optic fibre working on the principal of light travelling faster counter earth rotation (they call it Sagnac effect,...)
electrons,protons,nuons,gluons,nutrino's,... all based on a atom model,nobody has ever seen
I have seen a picture showing a surface where they moved atoms around (IBM). How can you move atoms, without getting tangled up with the electrons? How did Einstein ever come to the figure of light speed? Does an atom look like a solar system because of lack of imagination?
