Just a thought; if indeed electrons transit around the nucleus, shouldn't we see relativistic doppler shifting as their orbit will have them either receding or moving towards us?
Shouldn't spectral lines be spectral bars of measurable bandwidth?

Finally, with some atoms this affect should be blatantly obvious i.e Gold atoms possess electrons that move @ around half the speed of light ..... therefore its spectral Ab'/Emission lines should be particularly broad.

What do you think.
