Below is a great 8 minute clip of Forster Gamble, the maker of the Thrive movie, explaining the toroidal atom. Certainly on one level at least this seems to be the intuitively correct dynamics. However all models of the atom seem to be open to interpretation. I mean, like life itself, the nature of the atom seems to be infinitely mysterious at its core. I do love the way a geometrical explanation is so much more visualizable and comprehensible than an abstract vector of quantum theory!
