When asked about quantum mechanics Richard Feynman said: Everything
jiggles.

A subatomic particle in the nucleus called a nucleon jiggles because
it has a tiny quantum wave. But an electron has a wave 1836 times
bigger making the jiggle almost 2000 times the size. This huge jiggle
is better called a wiggle.

So in the nucleus there is a jiggle of nucleons and at the surface of
the atom the electrons jiggle 1836 times larger than the nucleons. I
call this huge jiggle a wiggle. Electrons wiggle.

I call the wiggle and jiggle collectively the order of quantum motion.
The motion order of the small.
