And with all their interest in multicultural ideas and their jokes about particle names, etc. there's one very important thing-- THEY STILL DID THE ACTUAL SCIENCE. And I guarantee you, and this is out of Feynman's mouth, that as soon as you start going to these ideas, and not bothering to do the science, he's done with you.
I do real world physics every single day for hours at a time involving mass, spin, and angular momentum in free fall as intuitive calculations, changing variables many times a second. I do lot's and lot's of physics, just not on paper. My work is pre-paper.

You know what else science/math is good for? Atomic weaponry. If I could fully write out the equation to tap the torque of the universe ("zero-point" energy) I absolutely wouldn't publish it. Can you imagine the arms race?
I'm much happier with the label of madman than destroyer of worlds.

[Emphasis added -- Thump]
Pretty sure the center, i.e. nucleus, of the atom is smaller than the electron shell in terms of sphericity.
You might want to check your work there, Sheldon.
Then I worded it unskillfully, the "larger spherical center" was in reference not to the size of the electron shell but to the point-like electron itself.
