This picture of Hydrogen is 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 wrong (Bohr model) • If an e⁻ were to orbit the nucleus, then the e⁻ would be accelerating • We know that accelerating charges radiate light ⇒ The e⁻ would continuously lose energy and spiral into the nucleus in a prompt 1.6×10⁻¹¹ spic.twitter.com/wGozwWUDED

So then we need to understand this little jewel(dirac spinor) for what the electron is doing around the nucleus and how the force arises that we understand as matter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_spinor …

well since the Hydrogen atom isn't relativistic there's no need to use dirac spinors

I am in awe of Eric Weinstein’s statement that the spinor is why matter has substance. Not sure if academias insistence to couple it to relativistic logic is appropriate. gravity is a spining force that we have simplified to a static downward/inward force via Newtonian logic

Dirac spinors are not why matter has substance
