COLOR!

You have no idea how ugly that looks on a black background.

Seriously, though, graphical aids are great. In chemistry, they can really make the day, esp. CGI. You really see the reactions taking place, with the clouds merging and splitting, changing colour with their polarity, etc.

Notice how the functions are asimptotic for the R coordinate, meaning that, theoretically, an electron can be found just about everywhere.

This is exactly what makes possible the awesome "Improbability Drive"

The old theory is just a simplified version of the new theory. Same deal with Newtonian physics and Relativity.
