I spend way too much time thinking about atoms, it is not healthy. Anyhow, I have never satisfactorily answered my question regarding what in an atom determines things like color, scent, texture, etc. You know, the things that distinguish one atom from another, it is taught that they are all made of the same thing (all elements that is) but if one electron is used to make a hydrogen atom an another a helium atom, how do they end up so different assuming the electrons do not exhibit unique properties themselves.
Last night, I heard an interview where someone claimed that all creations are light, well I like to understand one thing, thereby understanding the other, but I do not even know how electrons create such different things, so the idea that a same light could creat entirely different things escapes me, too.
If you read this and understand how, please, explain it!
