Then they tell that they actually don't go in circles by the funky shaped orbitals. Then they tell you that obritals don't really exist, its an imaginary path. amirite?

I actually have no idea what you're talking about, but I clicked YYA so people will think I did know, and that I'm smart.

Hmm, so you want everyone to think you know, but you're announcing it to everyone that you actually don't, that just might be crazy enough to work, you're a genius my boy!

"that just might be crazy enough to work" That's pretty much my life's philosophy.

Now THAT just might be crazy enough to work. Brilliant, keep 'em coming!

Exactly! You would think that the direction of the conventional current in a circuit would be the direction that the electrons were going. But no, electron flow goes the opposite way as conventional current. WHY PHYSICS, WHY?

I have a feeling you googled that.

Oh well then I bet you also don't remember promising to give me your credit card number, along with your social security number, full name, and date of birth?

No I don't remember promising I would, I take it back.

I just realized if I was "yourewrong" the reply I made to your comment "you're wrong" would have made sense. That's probably what I was thinking, I was outa this world. I'm suprised I could type.

Yeah I know, I thought you just changed your name.... until I realized youre wrong was still wrong.

Because the positive charge is flowing the other way. Current is just charge per time, which is coulumbs per second. This is why I think they should have made the electron positive and the proton negative.

This works for any subject. E.g., in English: all through elementary and middle school you learn about three-prong theses and five-paragraph essays. When you get to high school, your teachers order you not to write said essays on pain of death.

I've been thinking about this for a while actually, because right now we're entirely unlearning and relearning (but differently) everything we learnt just last year...and it seems just so incredibly inefficient. I understand dumbing stuff down (which I suppose this is to an extent), but if they're going to teach you something that is partially NOT correct, why teach it at all?
