Ground state electrons and positrons have no energy. They are self propelled by their own internal Coulomb forces at 2.19 X 106 m/s. That is why electrons don’t lose energy and fall into atomic nuclei. They have no energy to lose. Electrons can capture entrons to become an energetic electron. For example if an electron capture a 6 volt entron, by being in a circuit with a 6-volt battery, it can lose that entron in the filament of a flash light to help heat the filament to the temperature of the surface of the sun.
Ground state electron and positrons have a size of about 2 X 10-18 m, and they are traveling at 2.19 million meters per second. Each of them are being repelled with their own Coulomb force which is always far greater than the attractive forces of their opposites. So collisions are extremely rare. If atoms are present with orbiting electrons positrons will be attracted to the relatively stationary orbiting electrons and you will have your annihilatiorn. But atoms are not present in the shell.

They are going too fast to combine as positronium. Why is a particle moving "too fast to combine into positronium" - at about 1% of lightspeed - described as "very cold" ? Temperature is an emergent property of the average kinetic energy of particles! And why don't these particles collide and annihilate , which would give rise to a background radiation of the specific wavelength equivalent to the masses involved (corrected for doppler shift if the shell is receeding) ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
