sweet dreams

The atom model with the electrons going around the nucleus, is inspired by the solar system. The better model doesn't look anything alike. This is a naturalistic circular fallacy

Yes, because everybody knows the earth is in the sun's p orbital

Honestly the visual representation of the atom is just a simplified artist's rendition. It's more acceptable to treat the atom's components as charge fields filled with very high energy contained by nuclear forces. That said, the planets with molten cores and the sun also have their own electromagnetic fields so maybe the concept isn't so far off.

There was a guy on the net years ago who claimed that the entire universe is an electron on a plutonium atom. He made a religion out of it, wrote hymns to the atom (or, more precisely, changed the words of Christian hymns, clumsily fitting in references to plutonium atoms) and even legally changed his name to Archimedes Plutonium.

Look, I'm not saying our universe exists as a node in an infinite fractal of repeating universes, but one of these is the largest structure we can see and another is the smallest:

Or that the observable universe could be inside of a black hole. Don't watch too many black hole videos before bed.

Planet 9 is not a primordial black hole and it can't hurt you. 🙀

I've always liked this idea. Like, everything just repeats as infinitum whether you look smaller and smaller or bigger and bigger. The universe is just one of those fractal image kaleidoscopes.

"well brain, it seems you really need this sleep because that makes no sense whatsoever"

The galaxy is in Orion's belt.

I had this thought as a kid. But I thought it was neat that we might be part of an atom of some larger molecule. Didn't keep me awake. I had other trauma keeping me awake, like going to school.

Considering how much shit orbits the sun that would be one wildly unstable atom

Now imagine if something... or someone... would poke our galaxy with an observation, and all the stars in the arms instantly collapsed into a single particle.

There are better manners to avoid the sleep

Each galaxy is a neuron of God's mind.

I thought of this on the toilet when I was 14

This is something I find believable, and I wonder why it’s not commonly discussed more.
