A New Atomic Structure Based on Augmented Newtonian Principles

[Jzz]

I introduce a new atomic structure based on a deterministic atomic model founded on Augmented Newtonian Dynamics (AND), a classical framework that reinstates causality at the heart of atomic behavior. The AND model directly challenges the central assumptions of quantum theory; particularly the notions of spontaneous emission, wavefunction collapse, and probabilistic transitions — by proposing a structured, ordered mechanism underlying atomic interactions.

A key insight of this approach is the replacement of spontaneity with order. Quantum mechanics maintains that electrons make spontaneous "jumps" between discrete energy levels, emitting photons in unpredictable and probabilistic ways. However, this intrinsic randomness is fundamentally incompatible with many modern physical systems. Technologies such as optical atomic clocks, which depend on photon emissions at precisely defined frequencies in the hundreds of terahertz, and semiconductor-based processors and quantum circuits, which operate deterministically in the gigahertz range, require a much more reliable and continuous mode of electron-photon interaction than quantum theory can provide.

The AND model addresses this inconsistency by proposing that real photon emission is not a spontaneous event but an ordered, directional, and nearly instantaneous process, occurring only under well-defined energy conditions, such as when an unpaired electron absorbs energy from an external source. In contrast, the continuous regulation of an electron’s energy in a stable orbital is maintained through the rapid exchange of virtual photons, one emission followed by almost instantaneous reabsorption, taking place every orbit of the nucleus or at the rate of hundreds of trillions of times per second, but unlike in the case of real photon emissions these virtual photon interactions take place in random directions. These virtual interactions do not involve the emission of detectable radiation but serve as a self-stabilizing mechanism that preserves energy equilibrium within the atom. This process of virtual photon interactions effectively replaces wave-particle duality as the reason for electron stability around the nucleus, and brings the stability of the atom into line with the stability of the nucleus. Real photon interactions, when they do occur, follow classical laws of physics —specifically, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. The re-emitted photons are not scattered randomly but propagate in a structured manner, forming lines or rays of identical, connected photons. This orderly propagation explains the rectilinear motion of light and accounts for the inverse square law observed in the distribution of light intensity.

Within this model, electrons are treated as solid particles rather than probabilistic wave-functions. Their orbits are simple and well-defined—circular or slightly elliptical—contrasting sharply with the abstract orbital shapes predicted by quantum mechanics. Echoing principles of classical physics, electrons are arranged in discrete, symmetrical shells around the nucleus, their positions determined by the need to counterbalance the positive nuclear charge through electrostatic attraction. The atomic shells are divided as in quantum mechanics by division into sub-shells and orbitals with the number of electrons in each orbital governed by the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Real photon exchange is limited to orbitals containing unpaired electrons, while paired electrons remain inert with respect to photon interactions. Internal energy stabilization is achieved not through abstract quantum fields but via continuous interactions with virtual photons. In this view, photons themselves are not quantum field excitations, but structured dipoles composed of polarized pulses of electric energy, emitted directly from the electron as part of its self-regulating behavior.

The implications of this model are far-reaching. Spectral lines emerge not as probabilistic results of uncertain energy states but as deterministic consequences of exact energy matching between incident photons and the atomic system. The structured and directional nature of photon propagation explains both the rectilinear motion of light and its conformity to the inverse square law. By offering a causally complete and locally governed account of both emission and absorption, AND theory provides a conceptual foundation that is not only more aligned with classical principles but also far better suited to the needs of ultra-fast, precision technologies in use today.

A proton is a very small hole. An electron is a larger hole. A funnel connects and bonds a small hole to a large hole.

An atomic dipole looks and shapes like a funnel.

It's the most asymmetric shape and dynamic that there is.

Thank you for your creative contribution, I find it interesting to see fresh metaphors when thinking about atomic structure. If you're using "holes" and "funnels" as metaphorical tools, I’d be curious to know how these map onto measurable physical properties like charge distribution, mass, spin, or electromagnetic interactions.
An interesting side effect of your post is that it brings to light a central issue around which the Augmented Newtonian Dynamics theory that I'm exploring revolves: Can electrons reflect off the nucleus without being drawn into it or otherwise disrupted? Fortunately, a substantial body of research on electron–nucleus interactions shows that, given the right conditions, electrons can indeed reflect elastically off the nucleus. In such cases, they change direction but not energy magnitude. In fact, it’s possible to calculate this process precisely. Because the Augmented Newtonian Dynamics (AND) theory treats the electron as a solid particle rather than a quantum wavicle, the mathematics is grounded in classical physics. No Schrödinger equation, no wave functions, just straightforward, physically intuitive calculations.
In this framework, when an electron absorbs a photon, it gains energy and is driven toward the nucleus. Since the nucleus possesses 2000 times the mass of the electron it appears to the electron like a massive absolutely flat, absolutely smooth surface, off which it reflects elastically (i.e., like a billiard ball), at an angle consistent with the classical law: angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. It then re-emits a photon of equal energy, and the recoil from this emission causes the electron to retrace its incoming path, returning to its original position. At that point, the cycle repeats, this procedure occurs at frequencies of hundreds of terahertz per second.
These absorptions and emissions by the electron are governed by strict energy requirements that only photons in the optical range fulfil.

Think of a charge particle as a line. Looking from the end, the line would look like a dot. Now place a perpendicular cross on that dot. One leg represents the E field and the other cross leg represents the M field.

If we nail one end of that charge line down, and twist the free end, putting a twist and distorting that perpendicular EM field, then let the end go, that line will straighten back out…. So those fields are back in perpendicular alignment. The charge line will spring back straight. Also, a twist in that line, makes the RELEVANT length shorter than the straight line.

IF we put a one complete turn twist in that line…… then close that line in a loop…..one half of that line will try to untwist……. And while doing so……. Will put a twist back in the other half of that line. Half of the charge is trying to relax, and doing so, puts a twist back into the other half of the line.

This dynamic causes the charge to rotate, the charge is now, a rotating circumference….. trying to relax.

IF an external M field is inserted into the center of that ring, at a rate of twice the rotation….. additional twists can be induced in that ring. Every twist… adds two more wobbles to the rotation. And every new twist, shortens the circumference…...decreasing it’s length, AND causing a faster rotation.

The more energy induced, the faster the charge rotates.

The FUNNEL represents the COMMON M field that bonds the two particles.

The proton is an inertial device. The electron is an anti-inertia device.

When a proton is induced….. it keeps the energy, it’s a pig. It shrinks in size and spins very fast, and stays that way.

When an electron is induced, it tries to shed that energy and return to a low state. Inducing it, shrinks it, but it tries to shed that shrinkage and expand back to it’s large size and slow rotation…...low energy…. low inertia.

Opposite personalities. But same structure and same energy spectrums. The proton resides in the high part of this spectrum and the electron resides in the low part of the spectrum.

Under certain conditions, the charge can be inverted….. and the opposite side of that spectrum is occupied. The electron is small and fast spin and the proton has large and slow spun…… anti-matter.

There was NEVER any missing anti-matter. It’s all regular matter.

Probability, randomness, chaos and all the other silliness is not permitted in hayseed physics.
