Imagine if you were taking a walk along the beach. What sounds would you hear? What colors would you see? It is easy to answer those questions because we have experience living in the classical realm of physics of Newton and Einstein, where objects have definite form and interact in clearly determinate ways. Now, imagine if you were an electron whirling around the nucleus of an atom. Would you hear any sounds or see any colors? Those questions are not easy to answer because we can't experience the quantum realm, where objects are more difficult to describe, since they have a strange mix of particle-like and wave-like behavior. How about gravity? How would you experience it as an electron? The standard model of particle physics provides a framework for the weak, strong and electromagnetic forces of the quantum realm. Gravity, however, remains outside the grasp of scientists to fit it into the framework.In this book, the author uses quantum geometry to formulate a new atomic model similar to the Bohr model and the electron cloud model. The proposed atomic model shows mathematical calculations and graphic designs to demonstrate the presence of gravity on a geometrical framework. It also provides various geometrical figures so one can visualize electrons whirling around the nucleus of an atom in an array of colors and creating a symphony of sounds as they jump from one orbital to the next in quantum leaps.
