we think we're big. we think the earth is big. we think the atom is small. we think the electron is really small.

what if that's all just perspective

compare the atom to the solar system

nucleus = sun
electron = planet

molecule to galaxy

atom = star system
group of atoms = molecule
group of star sytems = galaxy

group of galaxies = universe
group of molecules = life form, object, compound

what if we are all quarks living onthe surface of the electron called earth? that orbits the neutron called the sun? which exists in the molecule called our galaxy? which is a part of the universe that is actually our view of the apple sitting on some enormous alien's teacher's desk?

talk about small
