What drives an atom?

Silly question time again.
I was just listing to a podcast about the end of the universe and it struck me that the hydrogen atoms that we breathe and drink evey day, has been around since the beginning - over 13 billion years. During all this time, each atom has an electron spinning frantically around the nucleus non-stop. What drives this bugger? Why doesnt it slow down? Will it ever slow down? Did I fall alseep in high school physics?
