Let's be honest—modern atomic orbital diagrams look like balloon animals made by a drunk clown at a kids' party. Meanwhile, the plum pudding model? Delicious simplicity! Just a positive pudding with negative plums. No need for quantum headaches or remembering which shape is d xy versus d z² . Sure, it's completely wrong scientifically, but at least we could visualize atoms while enjoying dessert. Thomson probably came up with it during tea time, which is far more civilized than Schrödinger doing math while having existential crises about cats. Sometimes scientific accuracy is overrated when the alternative sounds like something you could order at a British bakery.
