    The actual synthesis is just quantum dynamics - electrons aren't actually point particles, they are a probability distribution, the text is fake, but its funny anyways.

      Yeah, it is funny, though the thing about particles shows lack of understanding.

      This is actually kind of debatable and a matter of interpretation. But yeah I doubt you would see a real physicist academic saying electrons are point particles.

        Yeah, there's a few other ways to define it that end up being equivalent (mostly) but I like this one because it hints at most counterintuitive properties.
