 I do not refute that a cesium atom has protons revolving around its
 nucleus at a determined rate.  I do refute, however, that mental
 states have anything to do with what is really happening.  I also
 refute any presupposed idea that the revolutions of protons around
 the nucleus of a cesium atom is really, actually, constant.  And
 you should also know, that even though they appear to be circling
 the nucleus, they are really simply traveling in a straight line.
