Pushing Orbiting Electrons Around Changes Spin Of Nucleus

[Robert Zwilling]

Interfering with electrons in the outer shells giving them a micro moment of being out of equilibrium causes a similar loss of equilibrium, or momentary wobble, for the nucleus. The distance between the nucleus and the outer shell electrons should be enough to provide insulation but it didn't. The outer orbit electrons are what connects atoms to the outside world. The idea that what goes on in the outside world could make a difference in the nucleus has many implications. One idea is that it could used to write quantum information to the nucleus making it viable quantum computer component.

It also could mean that the concept of the stability of the nucleus being independent of the outside world might not be as straight forward as it was originally thought. If the path of communication between the electrons and the nucleus is a two way street, then perhaps events that happen in the nucleus could also be transmitted to the outer electrons which control how the nucleus interacts with the outside world.
