Wait, I said that wrong too... It's more complicated. The rate of change of the electrostatic fields of the protons and electrons (because of the zero point oscillation of the nucleons) has to match the speed of electrostatic information propagation.
So the electrostatic wave propagation is the wave, normally it goes to fast. It has to be slowed to the rate of the change in the electric field, which in turn is the zero point vibration / speed of sound in the nucleous. LOL I'm not sure which is the surfer, and which is the wave. The analogy with the surfer isn't a direct one, because in that case the surfer is speeding up to catch the wave. In the atom, the light is slowing down to match the speed of mechanical waves in the nuclous. But when they match the lost energy of the electrostatic fields can be converted to the photon. And it needs to be 100% match or else energy isn't converted. I'll try to think of a truer analogy... Peace.
