I'm retarded and you guys are less retarded so I have a question.
Do atoms dissipate their heat/thermodynamic energy in any other way besides transferring it to other atoms?
They're an imbalanced blob of particles where electrons constantly revolve as a counterbalance to the positive charge at the center, I figured that eventually the energy in the electrons would dissipate through friction from constantly moving, or that the small gravity of the atomic nucleus would also drain the force behind the revolutions over an obscenely long period of time.
I'm retarded too, but what exactly would they have friction with?

Electromagnetic radiation.

In a way wouldn't electrons and protons have a kind of friction with each other since their forces are in contact?
I know gravity is an entirely different force, but revolving planets transfer a lot of indirect energy that slows/changes movement, on an atomic scale wouldn't a similar exchange have the same result and deenergize electrons?
My autist mind is mixing up entropy, gravity, and electromagnetic force so feel free to tell me where my reasoning is fucking up.
