Well, either that photo is gazillions of lightyears old (lol LOL), and thus irrelevant, or a fake.

Boobies

On the contrary, it's not hard at all. Getting there, however...

Oh, I'm supposed to post the articles that go with the pictures now?

the remnants of a REALLY BIG SPACE BATTLE

dont the 2nd shell of electrons spin in that shape above the first shell? my A2 chemistry escapes me right now so i cant find the correct search term

edit: i see my post was inspired my n35t0rs

More generally, it's the shape associated with a number of the azimuthally symmetric spherical harmonics, which are themselves the angular solutions to Laplace's equation. Any central force problem in electrodynamics or classical gravitation has solutions of that form.

Of course, I'm assuming the galaxy's XY plane is the one on which the spiral is located (And that the galaxy has orbitals, which is a bit more far fetched).

**fereupfer** · 11-11-2010, 12:23 AM

Yeah, you can't do that with planets!

**Vikonbarius** · 11-11-2010, 12:56 AM

Why do you think that the distribution function is coordinate dependent? You can place an electron in whatever eigenstate of orbital angular momentum you'd like in whatever parametrization is most convenient

Hmm.. when I said 2P I was referring to 2P0, which is usually drawn along an (arbitrary, I know) z axis.

Only neutron stars.

They decayed eons ago.

I don't place electrons mainly to avoid having to measure that.
