    Here’s a few reasons this doesn’t work:

    1. Planets are different sizes, electrons are all identical
    2. 2 planets cannot occupy the same orbit, but (at least) two electrons with opposite spin can
    3. If you have a high speed planet entering the solar system, you can’t transfer some of its energy to another planet and have the rogue planet continue with less energy
    4. All orbital energies are possible, not so much for atoms
    5. Planetary orbits emit gravitational waves. If electrons produced the equivalent (bremstrahlung radiation) during “orbit”, they would collide with the nucleus hilariously fast. This isn’t a problem because electron orbitals don’t have a physical representation.




  • I used to have a job that was really into the Core Value Index. I thought it was pretty awesome because their categories were really simple and there are only 4 so you can really wrap your head around the whole thing at once.

    It’s not a full personality test, it’s more focused on trying to answer the question “How do you want ideas presented to you?” And. “How do you prefer to interpret ideas?” I found myself making meanful changes in how I worked with coworkers where I knew their results, which isn’t something anyone can manage with more complicated tests.




    1. They’ll give you a $1000 phone under the guarantee of a 2-year contract. That can be considered a type of loan and they can repo the phone if you stop paying.
    2. If you stop paying monthly bills, they can only really force you to pay the balance if they have your SSN and can affect your credit score.

    I’m not endorsing the practice of ruining people’s chances of buying a home over unpaid phone bills, but it’s a pretty good deal from AT&T’s perspective.
