Does your fruit hang low?

Another great thing about GUTCP is that it opens up many new areas of research.  Although Dr. Mills and his team have worked this ground for over twenty years, there is still much to do.  One project came up when there was a question on the old Yahoo group of why the non-s orbitals don't radiate.  Although the s orbital has an unchanging charge and current distribution, nonradiation is harder to see for the p, d, etc. orbitals.  The GUTCP orbitals are visualized on this page about halfway down (or follow this link straight to an animation).

I suggested that the charge and current functions, if discretized, would act like a phased array with a
