The Atom
--
Max Planck
Essentially, the atom is the building block of the universe[3]
Atoms consist of 3 basic things[4] :
If an entire atom were the size of a baseball field, then the nucleus
would be about the size of a grain of sand.
An atom has two basic parts: The nucleus in the middle made up of protons and neutrons, and the electrons found in the orbital shells.[9] These shells have fixed orbits[10]; they are always the exact same distance and diameter and there is only empty space between them.
The electron is typically understood to whiz around in circles along the shell, but in fact it only pops up for a fraction of a second in a random spot, disappears, and then reappears in another random place on that shell. It does this so fast and so often that it appears to be at all places at once and creates a sphere of negatively charged energy.
What differentiates one atom from another is: the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons it has (although the number of protons is what determines its status on the periodic table).

Protons have a positive charge (+1), Yang
Electrons have a negative charge (-1).[5] , Yin
While protons and neutrons are relatively the
same size, electrons[6]
are approximately 1/2000th their size[7].
The number of protons an atom has determines
its
atomic number
(on
the
periodic table).
Look at the
periodic table and you will notice that the first element is
the Hydrogen atom because it has 1 proton.
Number 2 is the Helium atom,
Carbon - 6,
Uranium - 92, and so on.

Also,
it is important to be aware that all components of atoms are in actuality only
energy and that
the only ‘thing’ in the universe is;
energy.
Atoms
have never (nor will ever) actually been seen with the human eye.
In order to be ‘seen’ an object must be large enough to reflect light and
the largest atom is 1000x smaller than a single
wavelength of light.
We know they are there because of the trails they leave behind.
If all of this sounds odd, don’t worry:
“Those
who are not shocked when they first come across quantum physics theory cannot
possibly have understood it”
What is important to know (and most difficult to grasp) is that atoms are either:
there
when a field of consciousness is upon them, or
not there and only exist in the field of possibilities when no field of consciousness is upon them.
So with this in mind, to keep it simple… atoms are either waves of
possibilities, or particles of
existence.
When you’re looking at them they are particles.
When you’re not looking at them they are waves.[11]
∴ Waves + Consciousness = Particles
When
there is no consciousness present they are waves and there is no ‘energy’
field that causes them to be, there
is only the possibility of them be-ing
(or the possibility of them being something else, since many different waves can
exist in one place).
“Without consciousness there would, practically speaking, be no world,
for the
world exists as such only in so far as it is consciously reflected
and
consciously expressed by a
psyche[12].”
When
there is consciousness upon the field then the waves within that field become
active. This
activity comes from the
energy that pervades that field.
The waves are then locked into their places (superpositioning) and become
particles.
If 2 atoms from the same entity are separated, the experience of one
will instantly create the same response in the other[1].
This phenomenon suggests that either the information is travelling
faster than the speed of light, which means it is travelling
back in time,
or as is commonly accepted in the science community, they are
still connected – entangled.
Since everything was ‘entangled’ at the moment of
the big
bang, then
this theory suggests that everything in the
universe is still
entangled -
connected.
According to the theory of relativity, mass and energy as commonly understood are two names for the same thing (one is not changed to the other). If Energy & Mass are correlated then they are also co-dependant. Whatever change happens to one also happens co-‘relative’ to the other.
Regarding velocity; if an object is pushed (added energy) in the direction of motion the object will increase its momentum up towards the speed of light, but when it reaches near the speed of light (nothing can travel faster than light) the energy no longer manifests as momentum, but relatively changes the mass of the object. In the theory of relativity the momentum of an object cannot a constant times the velocity, nor can the kinetic energy be a constant times the square of the velocity.

Dirac had worked out what electrons do. This equation brings together the two great theories in Physics; Quantum Mechanics and the Special theory of Relativity. The Dirac equation also predicted antimatter at a time when it could not be proved.
[1] Even though QP has proven Newtonian Physics incorrect[1], we still must use Newtonian Physics to measure QP. According to Ilya Prigogine, Physics has been ‘extended’ three times. Firstly in Quantum Mechanics with the use of the wave function, then with Space-Time in Einstein’s theory of relativity, and finally with the recognition of Indeterminism in the study of ‘unstable systems’.

[3] Although even it is made of smaller components - Subatomic particles, quarks, bosons, leptons, etc.
[4] In their electrically neutral state atoms have the same number of protons and electrons.If there is not equal amounts of each, they are called isotopes.
[5] Quarks make up protons and neutrons, which, in turn, make up an atom's nucleus. Each proton and each neutron contains three quarks. A quark is a fast-moving point of energy, and there are several varieties of quarks. Protons and neutrons are composed of two types: up quarks and down quarks.
Each up quark has a charge of
+2/3.
Each down quark has a charge of -1/3.
The sum of the charges of quarks that make up a nuclear particle
determines its electrical charge.
Protons contain two up quarks and one down quark. +2/3 +2/3 -1/3 = +1
Neutrons contain one up quark and two down quarks. +2/3 -1/3 -1/3 = 0

If you’re wondering why the
hydrogen atom doesn’t have a neutron – good.
The explanation goes beyond the scope and purpose of this paper,
but it is an interesting path to pursue for more knowledge of this
subject.

[9] Each succeeding shell can hold a number of electrons relative to the square of that shell’s number times two - (2xn²) (i.e. 2x1=2, 2x2²=8, 2x3²=18, 2x4²=32).
