Quantum physics was introduced because the behavior of tiny particles and atoms |
||
Especially atoms were known to contain shells of oscillating electrons that according to classical theory must continuously consume energy |
||
Instead, energy exchange occurred at mode changes via the emission or absorption of photons |
||
So, something oscillated, but the charges of the electrons and also their masses do not oscillate |
||
Only the probable location for detecting the electron oscillates |
||
That probable location is determined by the characteristic function of the stochastic process |
||
With other words, the electron is not oscillating, but instead the properties of the stochastic process are oscillating |
||
If the electron is at rest, then the characteristic function, |
