hmm...interesting points.
I didn't think my tidbit of info would add so much to the discussion.
BTW, dragonlich...minor correction.
You cannot predict the "position" & "velocity" of a electron at the same time.
If you predict the position exactly, the velocity is off the scale.
If you predict the velocity exactly, the position is off the charts.
The electron has a particle aspect, but when trying to predict where it is,
scientists now have certain "probablity" areas where it might be,
and it's pattern of probablity let's us know what state it's in.
and that helps show how it will interact will other particles,
especially in chemical terms.
But I've liked many of your points otherwise, good words.
Thanks, I really haven't looked into this new phenomenon yet,
and what it really means.
That's why I brought it up, to see what others thought in this context.
