Does the density difference causes the electron to miss? Identical
size charges but huge differences in mass and volume, with the
electrons like huge fog clouds or really giant ghosts and the protons
like sumo wrestlers condensed to say book-size without any loss of
mass -- that's close to the number differences. In that case, even
though they have equal and opposite charges, it would be as if they
existed in only slightly overlapping universes. A ghost trying to
hold a mini but massive sumo wrestler would find it impossible and
the wrestler would find it equally impossible. So in that way the
electron could miss. Is that at all close to how the electron can
bumble through the nucleus without glomming on permanently?
If so, that would be fun.
Thanks,
