What if?
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
An excretion(accretion) disc points to a different phenomenon causing the orbits. As opposed to a shell representing probability and energy level. But they are similar.
All this to really point out that I too have stayed awake thinking about this for a long time
The electron shells are just a model, that's not how it really works. Look at this image for a more realistic model of how an atom works:

Accretion disc. Your word scans like a real word but seems less than palatable
The atom model we're talking about is really, really unlike an atom
You know it just never seems weird at the time. The words are all kinda jumbled up. Never did well in spelling
Yeah. I'm good at spelling, but I still read over my errors and don't see them until after pressing send
I edit so many of my own comments right after tapping submit, I have set up a five minute delay on outgoing email for the same purpose
