1/ using the word "spin" here is a very bad idea, because it's overloaded.https://twitter.com/ItsRobbAllen/status/1037748179985461248 …

3/ You're using "spin" to mean "orbiting the nucleus". ...but actually, electrons to not "orbit" the nucleus.

4/ If it did, it would be a charged particle moving through a magnetic field, and thus would lose energy (emitted as photons) and bleed away its KE and end up crashing into nucleus. This is what the old model predicted, obviously that didn't happen, so the old model was wrong

5/ This gave rise to the current model that the electron is not orbiting per se, but exists in a probability cloud. So there's no KE gained / lost from the "orbit" per se when an electron enters/leaves a nucleus.

6/ There is energy gained / lost as an electron changes which shell its in. This energy is emitted as photons when an electron drops down a tier, and is gained from absorbing a photon, heat, chemical means, etc. Because shells are quantized, photonic emissions are quantized

7/ I'm not sure that it's meaningful to speak of it "sitting still" or "moving". We have the hbar equations relating location to velocity. Absent observation, tho ... shrughttps://twitter.com/ItsRobbAllen/status/1037750004872568837 …

8/ Re electron degeneracy - that speaks to the Pauli Exclusion Principle (which is one reason that I'm quite attracted to the digital physics model - read books 3 and 4! ). It doesn't implicate movement per se. It implicates information.

Replying to @MorlockP
Your theory fascinates me & I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. The concept of "information" vs. "movement" actually clears this up for me. I can think in that term easier.
