We have a pretty darn good mathematical model and theory that describes the behavior
electrons in elemental
atoms and other subatomic particles
in nature.
Every year we read more of the unimaginably minute particles such as
electrons, protons, positrons, mesons, and others named and described
in quick succession as science advances, which form the outer particles and the inner nuclei of the
atom.
In my view this arises from the striving of partly completed
atoms and molecules to complete their forms by capturing
electrons.
Then, list 2 effects that would be expected upon substi - tuting an
electron with a muon
in a helium
atom when mixed into a hydrogen cloud.
Cosmic and biological evolution involve change
in structures — as, for example, when
electrons and protons form hydrogen
atoms.
Then, summarize the effects that would be expected upon subst - ituting an
electron with a muon
in a helium
atom when mixed into a hydrogen cloud.
Accordingly, he understands
electrons and
atoms in terms of «an analogy between the transference of energy from particular occasion to particular occasion
in physical nature and the transference of affective tone, with its emotional energy, from one occasion to another
in any human personality.
An analogous argument is quite applicable to other levels of organization such as that of
electrons and protons
in atoms.
It is clear from Bohm's writings that an aspect of the implicate order of the
electron and the
atom is the subjective aspect of these entities; what they are
in themselves to themselves.
Nearing the very core of such awesomely huge black holes therein resides a centrality where
atoms collide with such force that they release many of their
atoms»
electrons resulting
in a wave of energy giving rise to particle jets being emitted from the said black hole's core.
The
atom, the
electron, the proton, the cell, whatever sort of brick or combination of bricks, is the same be it located
in the centre of the sun or
in the centre of a human brain.
At one point Leclerc suggests that compounds only come about when the acting is fully reciprocal (NPE 311), but there may well be more reciprocity among persons
in an intensive communal experience than between the components of some compound, e.g., between some neutron
in the interior of the nucleus of an
atom and one of its
electrons.
We will be concerned, however, with mental models of systems which for various reasons can not be represented by replicas, such as the economy of a nation, the
electrons in an
atom or the biblical God.
Hence the postmodern principle that an
atom or
electron in a brain is different from an
atom or
electron not
in a brain.
Lest he be misunderstood, he says that panpsychism does not for once question the real existence of such entities as
atoms or
electrons but merely insists that such individuals must «feel» and «will» He does not shrink from the view that
electrons «enjoy» their existence and deliberately alter their orbits
in order to obtain vivid contrasts and thus avoid being bored.30
Certainly consciousness does not exist at the level of
atoms and
electrons, nor does reflective self - awareness seem to appear
in evolution until the human species comes onto the scene.
But there is good reason for holding that mentality
in the form of some sort of rudimentary «feeling» may be present at the level of the energy - events that give rise to

atoms.
It is by virtue of their physical properties that
electrons and other particles combine

atoms, and so it is with
atoms that find themselves

The history of science provides many examples of this combination of analogy and innovation
in the creation of models which were useful
in generating theories.4 The «Bohr model» of the
atom,
in which «planetary»
electrons revolve
in orbits around a central nucleus, resembles the solar system
in certain of its dynamical properties; but the key assumption of quantum jumps between orbits had no classical parallel at all.
For those who enjoy chemistry: Free radicals are an unpaired

Due to the high temperatures and intense radiation present, these
atoms initially existed
in an «ionized» state: The negatively charged
electrons had been stripped from positively charged protons, leaving behind positive hydrogen ions (essentially, just protons).
Each hydrogen
atom, made up of just a single proton and

in two slightly different states: a higher energy state
in which the
electron and proton essentially spin

in which they spin
in opposite directions.
There are basically two types of lines, those produced by collisions between the
atoms or ions and the
electrons in the surrounding gas, which are called collision lines, and which are very bright for elements such as oxygen, nitrogen and neon, and lines which are produced when ions capture free

in the interstellar medium: hydrogen and helium.
