[Magnus]
Ok, ok. I just thought you were implying something else by mentioning it 
right after "absolutely discrete boundary". Were you?

[Krimel]
Well yes. As I understand this an atom is, you know, like an onion with
layers of these electron shells forming in concentric spheres around the
nucleus. Electrons move between those shells without passing through the
space intervening between the shells. "Shell" makes it sound like a hard
discrete layer while cloud make is sound fuzzier more probabilistic if not
more porous. But an electron is in one shell or cloud or another but never
in the space between.
