What Keeps Electrons Away from the Nucleus of an Atom?

RE: What Keeps Electrons Away from the Nucleus of an Atom?
It's something to do with their energy levels. Given higher energy states, they have higher "orbits." The "orbit" analogy is a poor one though. Gravity as absolutely nothing to do with it.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
