On the other hand, for the simplest case of the hydrogen atom's innermost orbit quantum theory calculates a spherically symmetrical charge distribution. For this reason (or better: reference point) let us allow the whole spherical surface, whose radius should be equal to that of the circular orbit, to be used in the selection of suitable orbital paths. Thus, we restrict ourselves to the simplest case, i.e. to the orbit of the electron on the innermost orbit of the hydrogen atom. We hereby let the electron travel at constant speed - required by quantum theory for this orbit - while allowing the electron to be laterally deflected and initially not taking care about why the electron can be expelled from an even (circular) orbit. A hollow glass ball is best suited for demonstration. The orbit shown in Fig. 3 is meant to be a suggestion for such an orbit. Four small circular paths are orbiting the spherical area such that they continuously merge into each other.

At this point we will perform the first arbitrary act. Namely, we demand the angular-momentum conservation law to be no longer applicable to this orbit. While still allowing the numerical value of the angular momentum to be constant we demand that the direction of the angular momentum vector be no longer a constant. Thereby we are completely inconsistent with quantum theory. What's more: it is just the constancy of the angular momentum (caused by the strict regulation of Planck's constant) that provides the basis of all theories on elementary particles. This point implies one of the main contradictions of quantum theory: it requires constancy of the angular momentum and calculates a spherically symmetrical charge distribution! This point can be called a crossroad. Either we decide for the angular momentum and get a non-causal world or we decide for the spherically symmetrical charge distribution and attempt to build a causal world. We decide to take the second way, and in this regard do not consider this step of changing over to such an orbit as an arbitrary act.

Viewing this orbit from the center of the sphere, i.e. from the nucleus, four curved drop-shaped subareas can be seen; whereby each of these orbited subareas could generate a magnetic field at the nucleus.
