Why is the Electron a "Cloud," while the Nucleus is not? Contradiction in the Standard Theory

The distinction that “the electron is a cloud while the nucleus is not” arises from a linguistic artifact of the standard theory rather than from physical necessity. In reality, both are closed surfaces, differing only in radius. Whether they appear as clouds or points depends on the observational wavelength relative to their closed surface scale.

Abstract

The distinction that “the electron is a cloud while the nucleus is not” arises from a linguistic artifact of the standard theory rather than from physical necessity. In reality, both are closed surfaces, differing only in radius. Whether they appear as clouds or points depends on the observational wavelength relative to their closed surface scale.
