Electron walks into a bar and starts critisizing everything: the bar is filthy....the beer is flat...the waitress is ugly. Bartender says: Why are you so negative?

In other words, they dont know.

Funny thing about quantum mechanics is that it's similar to abstract art paintings. Everyone pretends to understand it...
@ColdWarVet607
I think we know far, far more about outer space than we ever will understand about "inner space".

I would have loved if they teached us the theory in this detail in our schools rather than just giving us formulas and doing random calculations for exams
@SafetyBriefer
This video doesn’t answer the question it asks.
@wahiawamang6622
Amazing that a few people figured this out over a hundred years ago. The rest of us today are left scratching our heads at an algebra problem.

Electrons get their energy from drinking RedBull, it gives them wings.

You did not answer your own question, where do electrons get their everlasting energy. Supposedly all elementary particles get their mass from the Higgs field, maybe it provides energy also? Just asking!
@sdnlawrence5640
Very nice video and review. Reminded me of why I like physics & chemistry, had flashbacks to learning about orbitals & electron shells over 50 years ago. Should've mentioned electron state jumping from shell to shell though. And you really didn't explain where the energy comes from, which was the title that drew my attention.
@2pizen
nice summary
@sdutta8
It appears that the thing that has saved Quantum Mechanics is its incredible prediction accuracy, which has been used in practical engineering. Its inability to “make sense” has been long forgiven and forgotten, except by die hard academics still searching for “meaning”.
@siajnesdunk
Thanks. I did not expect a shorts video to explain all this. Great!
@rd9831
Nobody knows from where electrons get their energy. But the particle physicists definitely are clueless 😂😂😂
@dieselscience
IF you can answer the title question correctly, you can go collect your Nobel prize.
@Sith_Lord_Vader66
An electron can gain energy which is known as excitation by absorbing a photon with sufficient energy to boost it into a new quantum state. Likewise an electron with a higher energy state can lower its energy through a process known as relaxation by radiating the excess energy in the form of a photon. There are multiple orbits of electrons around the nucleus of an atom each of which corresponds to a particular energy level of the electron. Electrons can escape their orbit but only in response to an external source of energy being applied.
@aCatholicsinner
We go in circle. The rules and principles were discovered to explain the behavior of the electron. And then we say the electrons must behave this way because of the rules we discovered. This is not science.
@0NeverEver
This sounds like every energy that the electron looses in the lowest energy level is directed directly back to itself. That could happen if space is bent inwards in all directions toward it. This is in a sense expected, as without the trick of renormalisation the electrin should have infnite energy and hence create a singularity. The question is: why would such a singularity/black hole only affect the electron and nothing else around it?
