Figure 1D. The electron exists as a wave of probability in one moment, and
then in the next moment appears as a solid particle, then disappears into
nothing, and then reappears at another location.The Creation of Reality:
Energy Responds to Mindful Attention
Consider again that old-school toothpick-and-Styrofoam-ball model of
how atoms were constructed. Back then, weren’t we led to believe that
electrons orbited about the nucleus like planets around the sun? If so, we
could pinpoint their location, couldn’t we? The answer is yes, in a manner
of speaking, but the reason is not at all what we used to think.
What quantum physicists discovered was that the person observing (or
measuring) the tiny particles that make up atoms affects the behavior of
energy and matter. Quantum experiments demonstrated that electrons exist
