text: are we living inside an atom? "if solar system and atoms have similar structure , then could it possible that we are living inside some atom. as it has been proved that atom does not have any discreet boundaries, bt the probability density of finding an electron decreases as we go away from nucleous., and similarly solar system has no discreet boundaries. and also, the volume occupied by nucleous is very small as compared to the whole atom....and same is the case of sun with respect to solar system....there are many similarities like this..."  so could it possible that we are living inside an atom..?  **please don't try to prove me wrong......just think about it..** very good question.....  the universe "mocks" itself.   the sun does act somewhat like a nucleus, the planets like electrons.....you can transfer this idea to the galaxies also. if we live in an atom....... i actually am quite confident that we do. it's the only kind of theory that makes any sense.  it's explains the big bang theory-( an eternal atomic level matter antimatter reaction that plays it little game until a new bang start's a new universe and so on)  it also would help to understand the idea of infinite dimensions much better. ( if we live in an atom, then we are part of a system that is part of a bigger system that is part of a universe that is an atom.....etc.  you are really on to something here.  remember that all and i mean every truly great scientist that ever was got the "laugh". keep thinking about it.  and as for the physics(engineer) geeks..........with your android minds........for the 30 years you have done nothing to advance the science.......instead of trying to build a better "bolt", try and invent something that disposes of the need of a "bolt" in the first place.....nuff said!
