Cheer up, Robin. ElectrOpium to the rescue. :-) (*e-) mass = 2* 9.1e-31 kg First orbit (v = c/137) R = 0.5 * 5.29e-11 1st = -27.2 eV 2nd = - 109 eV 3rd = -245 eV 4th = -436 eV 5th = -681 eV 6th = -981 eV 7th = -1335 eV 8th = -1744 eV 9th = - 2207 eV 10th = - 2725 eV naturally 100th = - 272,575 eV super-naturally or poppycock?
