Wow. You best be trollin, nagger.

Its like saying we should still show the images of T-rexes with their tails flacid and dragging on the floor instead of being stiff like it should be.

No respectable scientist will be caught dead having that model of an atom anywhere near him, especially if it can be so easily helped.

It's like getting mad at people for drawing a heart like this as opposed to a "real" heart, who really gives a fuck? We all know this is a heart, as we all know that's an atom.

NO

that is not acceptable

if a photon were to bounce off the electron, it will change its course entirely, it will never have "motion blur"

Also, electrons DO NOT move about in that manner. EVEN if they were motion blurs

I was a business major at a community college once and in the first class the person teaching it, who had a phd in economics and was some sort of stock market genius who made lots of money and only kept teaching because he had tenure and liked that he could hit on the female students and nobody did a damn thing about it, flat out told everyone that there is no good reason to major in business, that if we want a job major in accounting, and that if we wanted to try and start a business we actually shouldn't be there at all, and should instead go travel the world and learn about different places and how people interact with each other.

We spent the rest of the semester listening to him tell stories about stuff he did and watching youtube videos on the projector.
