The currently accepted <b>model</b> uses a mathematical approach that is different from the one that Bohr first used. However, it does not invalidate what Bohr suggested. Rather it supports his general way of looking at the <b>atom</b> and understanding it. In the modern <b>quantum</b> theory, the electrons are not described as if they were locked in precise orbits, but instead are described in terms of the probability of finding them with different amounts of energy and in different places near the nucleus.

    The problem is that the electron is not a singular entity. It, like the proton and neutron, is made of other component parts. It cannot stop moving. The photon is the simplest charge carrier and can be associated with an electron as one of it's component parts. Another flavor of a photon binds an electron and a proton together to form the neutron (a neutrino). I would call them "Solitons" as they are nothing but waves that *behave* like particles. Like a tidal bore.
