i know theres alot of differences they can calculate and observe. What i want to know is did they acount that the atoms activites are trillions of times faster?
The same thing but viewed trillions of times faster would apper to be different.

There is no real comparison between the structure of an atom and a solar system other than the visual analogy of electrons (planets) revolving around a nucleus (sun).

Even this may prove to be incorrect if it is shown that electrons actually vibrate rather than orbit.

The forces that hold an atom together are entirely different and the actual structure of the component parts of an atom are also entirely different.

atoms could be compared to solar systems in the sense that electrons fly around a nucleus, but that is about as far as the comparison goes...

Nothing in the make-up of atoms compares to the asteroid belt.

Nothing in the make-up of normal atoms compares to asteroids from other galaxies passing by, or meteors and meteor showers.
Do not compare this with man's use of devices to shoot neutrons into atoms...that is not the normal state of things.

Nothing in real space sets up laws for the maximum number of planets that must occupy a given region of space as is true of the construction of atoms (2 electrons in first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, etc.).

But the real question is this: If we allow and apply the theory that planets circling the sun is analogous to the atoms circling the electron or nucleus...then applying qualities to each planet..+ or -
or based on densities, elemental qualities..what type of matter would we make.....a skin cell on GOD?? or just a smell in a cosmic poot...somebody do the math and let us know ok..my super-ego awaits!

Gee! Lipsi seems to have all the basis covered.
