Greg:
Yes. Omni in this context is intended to mean all directions (from center).
G.P. Thompson (son of J.J. Thompson) discovered that electrons are in a constant state of expansion. He subjectively overruled the objective findings of his own experiments and mathematical confirmation. Refererence, J. W. N. Sullivan's, Limitations of Science. Thompson's findings and methods are well known, but overruled for the same 'reason' Thompson cast them aside:
"
obvious
ly matter isn't expanding".
"
As long as we are considering an individual electron, we could be mislead into thinking that its waves are physical realities. Each electron in fact demands a 3-Dimensional Space to itself. This makes it obvious that these waves are merely a mathematical phantom; consequently it is profoundly disconcerting to find that experiment confirms their existence. The apparent congruity between calculation and experiment must be in some sense illusory. It is extremely difficult to avoid the conclusion that the experiments and their results have yet to receive their proper interpretation.... “These disturbed areas which are discovered to demand 3-Dimensions of Space indicate the position of the electron; yet we cannot state that the disturbed area is the electron. Because any such locality has a tendency to spread, and if the matter of the universe were a number of disturbed areas, by now it would have spread indefinitely."

The 'why' interrogative is applicable to a lot of issues that are not answerable in a 'why' context .
