How exactly is that space empty when it’s being exclusively occupied by a probability cloud?
That formulation strikes me as being a Rutherford model tier of wrong.
- jmyeet 4y agoParticles have measurable sizes. Now you can argue this is a collapsing wavefunction, which I guess it is, but what size does a wavefunction have? I think the general interpretation is that the wavefunction is probability distribution and in that case the electron "cloud" is really the uncertainty about where the electron is not a larger object.
- User23 4y agoIs it really sensible to call a space “empty” when you know full well that it’s exclusively occupied?
