5. The Classical Picture

We have spent ages putting this together.

Physicists envision what's going on in different ways, though each visualisation must yield the same experimental results.  In addition to the quantum picture we have the classical view that considers the electron as an infinitesimally tiny spinning object, precessing around an axis.  

If you speak physics, read the journey of the electrons from the bottom of the page to the top and if you don't I hope you enjoy the rich blue colour and the forms.

In particular, I thank physicist, Mike Tarbutt who helped create this picture.
