    Take a scaled out view of our solar system and then compare it to a molecules composition (the atom or group of atoms surrounded by protons and neutrons) and the similarities are just uncanny.

    Nah, the planetary model of the atom is outdated. The quantum model doesn’t look very much like a solar system.

      Not even a little bit, really. Quantum mechanics is in fact almost nothing like what school taught me.
