Existenceology and Quantum Physics

Hey guys, It's Elle again.
I finished the book Speak a few days ago, and it was really, truly awesome. The ending couldn't have been better, and Miranda is, really, such a relatable character, even if you haven't been through what she has. It's a great book, and you should totally read it.
HOWEVER,
With Speak read and done with, I have nothing to read, but so much to read. Do you know what I mean? I have so many books to read, but I want to read just one of them over and over, again and again, until I can recite the entire thing, word for word, and never want to even look at that book ever again.
So, I read about weird things, and try to get into other books. Right now, I'm reading Gracefully Grayson and What If Einstein was Wrong? Gracefully Grayson is about an MtF, trans middle schooler. What If Einstein was Wrong? is about quantum physics, and the infamous E=MC^2. My friend also loaned me Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: Hollow City.
I really have so many things that I want to read all at once, but if I do, everything gets really stressful and slow. I read fairly slow as it is, and usually takes me a week or two to finish a 200-300 page book.
Anyway, a less stressful thing to talk about is quantum leaps. So, everything is made out of atoms, yeah? In those atoms, there is a nucleus and (a) proton(s). The previous theory was that protons continue around the nucleus in an exact path, always following that exact path. Similar to how planets orbit a star. However, if this was true, the protons would crash into the nucleus, and that would be bad. Now, there is this space in an atom where a proton may never pass through in proportion to the nucleus. It's not because it isn't allowed, but just because it's physically impossible. Like making two negative magnets touch each other. So, how does a proton stay in its orbit? Quantum leaps. The smallest jump through time and space possible. A proton will disappear, only to reappear instantly in the orbit of the nucleus. It's really simple, if you think about it. It's just the way the world works. It the way everything works.
