“Anyone who has not been shocked by quantum physics has not understood it” Niels Bohr

This project represents a model of the probability cloud for one electron. The probability of locating the electron as a particle on the actual location is represented with the lines that are projected from the certain point - location. The length of the line represents probability value for the electron being on that actual location.

The idea for the parametric model of an atom comes from the first philosophic thought that the entire universe has one origin. Through 2500 years of the history of science, man is contemplating the origin of the Universe, and looking for the information that explains nature.

The probability cloud is mathematical description of where the electron in an atom is most likely to be found, which means the model shows the spatial distribution of electron.

“The nature of electrons seems odd. Seemingly they exist in different places at different points in time, but it is impossible to say where the electron will be at a given time. At time t1 it is at point A, then at time t2 it is at point B, yet without moving from A to B. It seems to appear in different places without describing a trajectory. Therefore, even if t1 and A can be pinpointed, it is impossible to derive t2 and B from this measurement.” qoute from http://www.friesian.com/quanta.htm

“In other words: There seems to be no causal relation between any two positions. The concept of causality cannot be applied to what is observed. In case of the electrons of an atom, the closest we can get to describing the electron’s position is by giving a number for the probability of it being at a particular place.” qoute from http://www.friesian.com/quanta.htm

The strangest thing about the standard Copenhagen interpretation of the quantum world is that it is the act of observing a system that forces it to select one of its options, which then becomes real. …
What’s worse, as soon as we stop looking at the electron, or whatever we are looking at, it immediately splits up into a new array of ghost particles, each pursuing their own path of probabilities through the quantum world. Nothing is real unless we look at it, and it ceases to be real as soon as we stop looking. (In Search of Schrodinger’s Cat, John Gribbin, 1984).
