A common belief among scientists is that there exists anunderlying order to nature. Einstein described this beliefin the words “God is subtle, but He is not malicious.”What do you think Einstein meant by this remark?
Order the theories from oldest to most recent.
START ORDER
Atoms consist of mostly empty space with a dense nucleus of positive
charge.
Atoms are tiny indivisible particles that make up all matter.
Electrons occupy specific energy levels surrounding a positively charged
nucleus.
Electrons move about a positively charged nucleus in clouds that are
defined by probabilities.
Negatively charged electrons are embedded in a mass of positive
charge.
