The only update that I got since was high school was that electrons aren't on concrete orbitals around the nucleus, but that there is a probability distribution saying that they are likely somewhere around the area where the concrete "orbital" concept is usually drawn.

That and quantum shenanigans, but that comes down to "we can't transport information faster than light."




Just mention pilot wave theory and someone on this site might reply with a very detailed explanation of quantum mechanics.
