ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON TEMPO TV (31 March 2009)

There are protons and neutrons in the nuclei of atoms. As we can see from the name, neutrons have a neutral charge, while protons have a positive charge. Electrons revolve in their external orbits, but at an unbelievable speed and regularity, never hitting one another.

ADNAN OKTAR: Of course. There is a glorious mathematical system. I mean, for instance, a hundred electrons may revolve around the nucleus but never bang into one another. The nucleus and electrons should normally amalgamate together. The protons and electrons should stick together. People claim that the centrifugal force arising as they revolve at high speed stops them doing that. OK, let us accept that centrifugal force stops them all colliding together, but in my opinion it is created as a miracle. This is not a reasonable explanation. Not reasonable at all.

ADNAN OKTAR: For one thing, there is no explanation for the energy involved in their revolving around one another for millions of years. This is a huge miracle. They have been revolving round one another as long as the Earth has been around. The process started and the revolution has been continuing, magnificently and at the very highest speed, ever since. They orbit at a speed of 50,000 revolutions a second. That means a huge force, and they never stray from their paths. Let us consider the iron atom. Someone hits it with a hammer. Under normal conditions the electrons in it should fly apart under the effect of centrifugal force. But in no way does it get affected by it. Allah has brought it into being with a huge power. There is a complete void between them. Indeed, that is what scientists say. They say that the eye perceives matter as a solid whole, but that is not actually the case at all.  Scientists say that matter is transparent. Because there is so much empty space between the proton and the nucleus, between the nucleus and the electron. It is as if the nucleus is here and the electron is as far away as the Bahcelievler district of Istanbul. That is the kind of amazing distance. That is why matter in fact has a transparent structure. Scientists say we can effectively disregard what is on the outside; it is 99.9% empty. But scientists say the eye perceives it as solid. They say there is no light on the outside. Only light waves. But that is how the eye perceives it, they say. How the brain perceives it. They say there is no sound on the outside, only sound waves. But that is again how the brain perceives it. That is how it perceives matter. And they say there is no time on the outside. That is just how the brain perceives time, they say. There is also no time outside. That establishes a really marvelous and metaphysical state of affairs. It is really, really astonishing. This regularity in the atom, this extraordinary effort it makes which has no petrol or anything to run on.  Atoms receive no energy from anywhere. They have been set in motion and never stray from their paths. How can this happen? Eighty or ninety electrons all revolve around a tiny nucleus, 50,000 times a second, at a speed of thousands of kilometers an hour. But they never normally hit one another. All people regard this as if this is something very ordinary. Just a single atom is a very great miracle.  For instance, we are currently touching this object. But touching is not possible. There is actually no touching going on at all. There is repulsion in the structure of atoms. When we touch something, for instance, the electrons in our finger tips and those out there repel one another. But we never make direct contact with what we are touching. This feeling of touch stems from one of repulsion. That is, it stems from repulsion. We perceive that feeling of touch because of repulsion. This is not something that is very well known. In other words, no two pieces of matter can touch one another, as they repel one another. We touched here, a sensation of touch formed, but that stemmed from repulsion. It stems from a powerful sense of repulsion. We imagine we touch things. But we really don’t. Allah has created such wondrous things to bring this about. If people could see at the very smallest, most minute level, just the structure of the atom would easily be sufficient to lead people to faith.  

ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON VATAN TV (2 April 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: And this shows the system of the atom. Look, there are protons and neutrons at its center. The electrons revolve around it. They go round it 50,000 times a second. They revolve at a speed of 150 thousand km/hour. People talk about that as if it were something very simple. But they have been moving at the same amazing speed since the world was created.  They have no petrol or diesel or electricity or anything else. They continue within that force that Allah has given them, and will do so until Day of Judgment. Protons and neutrons hold onto one another. Meanwhile, there are tiny sub-particles that join them to one another. There may be up to 100 electrons, more than 100. But they all keep moving at that incredible speed of 50,000 km/second, going around 50 thousand times at a speed of 150 thousand kilometers and never crash into one another.

ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON EKIN TV (19 January 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, the atom. Now, it has a nucleus in the center. Let us imagine there is a small melon here and an electron in the Silivri district of Istanbul whizzing round it 50,000 times a second, and it never strays from its path, not even if you hit it with a hammer. Think of the size of the atom and the power of its energy. It goes around the nucleus 50,000 times a second and not even a hammer blow is enough to put it off course. That alone is a very, very great miracle. Because it is a very delicate matter. Why should the electron revolve? Why should it go round 50,000 times? Why should it be so tightly bound to the nucleus? And where does its energy come from? The electron has been revolving for millions of years, and it keeps on turning.

PRESENTER: Do you think it is a repetition of the name of Allah?

ADNAN OKTAR: Of course. Almighty Allah tells us that we cannot hear it, but every living thing repeats the name of Allah.
