Id like to know the averge size difference. it might be such a difference that what we see in our univers and compar it to the atomic level, ends up being like the history of our univers happening in ten seconds at the atomic level.

Great idea and way to think outside the box but electrons don't really orbit around a nucleus.

No. Atoms cannot be mini solar systems. Electrons are charged. Charged particles emit radiation when they accelerate. Particles that move in circles are accelerating, therefore, if electrons were orbiting atomic nuclei, they would continually emit radiation. But they do not. It turns out that to explain the interactions between light and matter, atoms have to behave in ways that are nothing like anything we have ever seen directly.

The model of an atom as a miniature solar system is just a device to help children visualize its component parts. Electrons don't really orbit around a nucleus, and gravity isn't holding things together.

Right! The collapse, as mapped, would supposedly lead to the quantum theory of the Universe as the world outside of the atom! The Collection of stars and all, are at the slipstream of the atom! YOU ARE NOT COOL!
