Electrons Move Backwards in Time
ELECTRONS DON’T MOVE BACKWARDS IN TIME
ELECTRONS DON’T MOVE FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT
ELECTRON ORBITALS ARE PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS NOT PATHS

Really?
October 13th, 2006 at 6:40 pmIt’s logically equivalent to assert that the electron follows all availiable paths simultaneously. (Think of the two slit experiment. Is it nothing more than a very large and stretched-out orbital that interferes with itself on one end?)
As for electrons moving backwards in time, that’s clearly false. The energy required to accelerate them to that speed would be infinite. Besides, folks commonly regard positrons to be electrons that are already moving backward through time (and thus don’t need to be accelerated past the speed of light to create this effect). And you never here anything about positron orbitals in an atom…
