Thanks. Is there something similar for Android as well? Asking ChatGPT, it has made recommendations for Haxe most importantly, which claims to support a large number of platforms.

I understand. Thanks! Will try to find the math that shows acceleration in the cartesian coordinates (and with Euclidian geometry) comes out to be zero. That then hopefully will help me understand how is QM solving the original problem.

Am genuinely trying to understand. It's not zero in other coordinate systems? Or you are saying it does come out zero in all the systems. If the latter, I would love to read more including the maths. :-) Thanks.

The relevant piece here is acceleration. I understand the rest. The problem in classical explanation is acceleration resulting in energy loss to radiations. With QM, we have an explanation without that radiation, but I am not clear how a

This explanation is not correct. Here, the electron is again accelerating, will lose energy, and ultimately spiral into the nucleus. This does not require it to be pointing exactly into the nucleus.
