This book describes an atomic model that was known a hundred years ago. It is based upon the work of a number of pre-twentieth century physicists, but mostly Newton and Coulomb. The remarkable thing is, that it is simple, rock-solid and it works! Why, therefore, did every physicist abandon it (and still do) to follow a statistical model that has, for more than a century, failed to predict a single property of any atom in anything other than a contrived condition. So, when you are confronted by a modern-day academic that dismisses this historic model, you must ask him (or her); why, if the 100-year-old model can predict every property of every atom at any temperature and any pressure, and gives us mathematical chemistry, are you still stumbling around in the dark with a model that clearly doesn't work? I (the author) would guess that perpetual failure is more profitable than success.
