By now now, I assume that you got a pretty good idea of the way I conceive the atomic model. It is NOT a cheap copy of the solar system modified by the "weirdness" of quantum mechanics AT ALL!
Do you have an idea of the details describing TODAY'S atomic model?
Just take a good look at it, cause this is going to be history a few years from now:

You can read RIGHT THERE what the actual zeeman effect WAS. A "splitting" of the original spectral line or the scattering of a radiation PRODUCED in subsequent "piano keys" otherwise filled with pure innert MASS before...
Remember that between the actual [physically present] keys in a given scale, there were other POTENTIAL notes which keys were missing.
Q. Why were they missing?
A. Because keys are added with NEW BONDS between "energy families" [atoms of hydrogen]. The more "energy families" get together into the BOND the more complex the atomic structure becomes!
The Webpage I posted above has another interesting feature that I find highly interesting for those who DON'T LIKE TO BE FOOLED by anyone!
LOOK the chapter about "plasma."
Q. What is a plasma?
A. An atom that has been "stripped" from one electron... blablabla! Since there are NO electrons in my atomic model how could you defined PLASMA?
According to you... What would happen if we were able to supply the EXACT AMOUNT of E-M energy to a given harmonic? Obviously the SPINNING energy will cancel each other out "producing the feeling" of an "electron absense... right?
Right! There would be NO MAGNETIC ACTIVITY whatsoever! However that doesn't mean that there is a vacuum in space! Such compensated region of space will contain equal amount of E-M energy spinning in opposite direction and it will also be projected further in space in subsequent SCALES too.
That's why we observe other lines in the spectrum! There is a lot of "empty space" inside the atom that EXPERIMENTALISTS can't figure out WHY!
WELL! that's why! A total and perfectly balanced pattern of standing wave [harmonic] does not mean the "kidnapping" of an "electron" [harmonic] but the perfect FULFILLING of it!
Please, take a moment of your meditation time and think about what I've just told you... If you feel like it, discuss the issue with your physic professor if HE or SHE won't see you as an ALIEN...
