there can be nothing physical (BY DEFINITION !!(
in a point!

just see above who was the first one to explain and
prove it so nicely !!!...and clearly (:-)
and so many parrots folowed him lately !!

so there is some satisfaction in my toil !!!.......

th e next idea of mine -that is going to be spread widely ----
will be the
'CHAIN OF ORBITALS ' .
(just a little indication but not the only one)
there are a lot of others !!
all chemistry is full of it !!

Answer the question, Henri--can you cite anything that claims
field are explained by other dimensions that we don't know
about... or is this another figment of your imagination?

Well, that's why they invented photons, to save the point. and
forget about thinking and other things.
Which is also why non-fools invented holographic memory,
flash memory, self-assembling robots, multiplayered laser disks,
multiplexed fiber optics, external emualtors, external hardisks,
and Post GM Spam-A-Thons.

I want to know what the point is that the point is beside
and what distance must be exceeded to make the points
not be beside each other. That's why I asked "What's the point?"

Mathematics is the language of physics. Unfortunately it
can be lied in just like any other language. F = ma is literally
and technically a lie, force does NOT equal mass times acceleration.
If it did I'd be accelerating, I can feel a force on my butt as I
sit in my chair not accelerating. Now I want to know what a
force IS and not what it is capable of doing. A force is a force
is a force, of course, but not a horse. At some point one must
fall back on intuition.

Ok, an electron is not a point particle ... but it CAN be approximated
as one just as the Earth and Sun can. You can be approximated
as a human being, as a mammal, as an animal, as a living object,
as matter. Point particles are ideal mathematical models of
what takes place in a CRT.

Note: Anyone can say what something isn't. Saying what it is
is much harder.

Then you say what the fuckin' point is, then!
