Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most commonly asked questions we receive at Common Sense Science. If your question is not answered below, please contact us and we'll get back to you with an answer.

Questions about the Foundations of Science Newsletter

• Why should I subscribe to the printed version of FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENCE when the lead article can be downloaded from the CSS website??
• Will you mail FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENCE to me at no charge?
• Can I subscribe to your Journal and pay for the subscription using a credit card?

Questions about Electrons and Protons

• Exactly what are electrons and protons made of?
• What keeps an electron from expanding due to the force of its negative charge acting upon itself?
• What is the radius of a spinning charged ring electron and how is it determined?
• How can an electron fit inside the nucleus of an atom, since the nucleus is much smaller than the size of a free electron?

Questions about Atoms and Atomic Structure

• Where can I find a picture or diagram of an atom to complete my school assignment?
• How can an electron fit inside the nucleus of an atom, since the nucleus is much smaller than the size of a free electron?
• Why isn’t the mass of the neutron, or any atom, equal to the sum of the masses of all it's constituent elementary particles?

Questions about Classical Physics vs. Modern Physics

• Why is Common Sense Science developing new models when the Standard Model (SM) of Elementary Particles and Quantum Mechanics (QM) have been so successful?
• Why does Common Sense Science use Classical Physics even though the classical electron model could not explain so many experimental results?

Questions about the New Material CSS is Developing

• Watch for a tutorial that will summarize the Lucas-Bergman model, provide background comparing their work with the standard approach, and introduce the latest material they've been working on. You'll even be able to give us your feedback on the model through an on-line survey.
