I used to wonder that in science class. When we learned about atoms, I thought that they looked like tiny solar systems.
I wonder if we're just an atom of poop.

Quantum mechanics disproved the idea of solar systems as atoms on a giant's toe a long time ago.
The representation of an atom as a solar system is a metaphorical convenience. Obviously an atom, if it could be seen, would look nothing like htat.

I don't think so because solar systems behave differently than atoms.

Actually, since there are eight planets, it would be more like Oxygen. Fluorine, if you count pluto. Unless the solar system is some sort of ion...

Would you believe that that was the theme of a comic book story about sixty years ago? True.

Now why would you say something dumb like that?
You sure you'd not rather be a theist?
