Some say my theory is borrowed from Men In Black, but funnily enough I had this thought in my head years before it came out. So here goes: The human race has spent countless hours looking for answers as to how the universe was formed, science has battled religion for millenia, and yet we are still without any definitive answer. My thought drew a link between galactic/universal bodies and the very structures that make up everything in the known universe - atomic structure. Take a look at an atom - it has a nucleus with electrons rotation around it at a high speed. Remind anyone of a 'solar system'? Planets orbiting a 'sun'? Atoms bond together to form a molecule, much the same as solar systems mass together to form a galaxy. Galaxies make up the known universe, much the same as molecules make up complete organisms, etc. So... what if the planet we are all residing on is simply an 'electron' on a scale so grand we simply can't fathom; that the universe is perhaps even a living organism? Would explain why it is expanding - it's growing. And perhaps, following chaos theorum and representing something similar to a fractal - inside us, in subatomic structures on a scale too miniscule to comprehend - there are infinitesimally small cultures of other living organisms going about their daily lives, blissfully unaware that we exist. Just a thought...
well sorry to dissapoint. but i think millions of people already thought about this at least once in their lives. but yea. it makes a fuck load of sense.
if the universe is infinite, sizes are also infinite small and big and if the universe is infinite, every possible thing in the universe must happen and existe
No, it's a particle. Electrons, protons and neutrons are the very particles that make up the core existence of everything in the universe - matter.
Electrons behave as both particles and waves. And they don't orbit around the nucleus in the same way that planets orbit around the sun...they don't follow those laws of gravity...which is why there is no working "Theory of Everything", pretty much. Plus it isn't really known what the atom is fundamentally made of. An idea of the nucleus of an atom as a globe with electrons as globes rotating around it like planets rotate around the sun is not accurate. Not to say that there couldn't be unknown forms of life on infinitely infintesimal realms of existence, though.
righto, the actual force causing the orbit of the electron around the nucleus is the weak nuclear force, attracting negative charges to postive charges. The shape of the orbit isn't always spherical either. in fact the only reason we say that electrons "orbit" around a nucleus is because, due to the partial particle existence of the electron, the location with the highest probability of the electron's existence is in the orbital area. Technically, due to heisenberg's uncertainty principle the electron could be in any place in the universe.
