The explanation given athttp://bethe.cornell.edu/
(if I understood it correctly) is that 'not even the electrons know where
they are' to a high enough accuracy to be able to 'accelerate' while they
are in their 'orbitals'.

Their location is so uncertain that the probability plots ARE the correct
'picture'.


They say you can know when you know their location, you can't know
their velocity ....and vice-versa?

(and/or the more you know their location, the less you know their
velocity)

---------------------------------------

But from what you wrote above it's saying only possible to know the
PROBABILITY of their location....this is conflicting from the
definition I wrote above??
