	Quantum physics was introduced because the behavior of tiny particles and atoms was in conflict with classical physics
	Especially atoms were known to contain shells of oscillating electrons that according to classical theory must continuously consume energy
	Instead, energy exchange occurred at mode changes via the emission or absorption of photons
	So, something oscillated, but the charges of the electrons and also their masses do not oscillate
	Only the probable location for detecting the electron oscillates
	That probable location is determined by the characteristic function of the stochastic process that determines the hopping locations of the considered electron
	With other words, the electron is not oscillating, but instead the properties of the stochastic process are oscillating
	If the electron is at rest, then the characteristic function, and more in general the dynamic superposition coefficient of this characteristic function determine these properties
