Thank you for sharing. Most fascinating.

Solar Systems resemble atoms. I sometimes wonder if our whole universe is a collection of molecules of some larger organism. Fascinating video. We are like a fungus growing for a few days on a moist rock circling one of a billion plus stars. Here today gone the next. Yet we all carry these huge egos. Whatever for. The grave yards are full of (once) indispensable men.

Untill they don't.

I used to wonder that, and it seems poetic, and sometimes I still do. But, atoms really don't resemble the solar system in one fundamental respect: every single electron is exactly alike. There are no differentiating features like there are for humans or planets, or stars, or galaxies, or so on.
There are other differences too, and yet, there are systemic similarities. There's a lot we don't know yet, and it may turn out to be one way or another, or something else entirely. What all this is for sure, is fascinating.
