This movie shows an electron in action It is only 1 attosecond long !! but slowed down so we can see it.

First time for an electron to be filmed

Looks like a WinAmp visualisation to me...

Hardly a film of an electron which, as I understand it, is impossible as the wave function would collapse; more a film of its effects I would say.

Strange things happen in the small world

This is, however , supposed to be a real pickture. Exposed during 1 attosecond (now, that is a very short time.....)

U can´t determin Where the electron is if U try to measure it´s speed but U can do one of those things. But U must use BIG electrons, if they are too small they will be unable to see as they are smaller than the bandwith od light

All electrons are surely the same size. Atoms vary in size due to the number of their constituent sub-atomic particles but the sub-atomic particles are all the same size I think.
