Atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, universe


Recommended Posts

When i was a kid in school, i remember learning about atoms and thinking these look like tiny solar systems or something.  So i began wondering, like atoms make up everything around us, what if we are parts of bigger atoms that make up something bigger than us?  I thought, wow, we could be atoms that make up the toenail of God!  I know, silly kid.  And im no scientist for sure, but can you see the structure of an atom resembling our stars, planets, etc?  Im not sure but at some point later, i believe i briefly read this is already some eastern philosophy.  And think, my little kid brain came up w a false religion all by myself!  Shame on me.

Yes!  Exactly!  Even smaller solar systems making up us.  Tiny people on tiny planets, not knowing they make up another human! And on infinitely!

It should be noted that modern scientists have found that atoms do not look like solar systems. What you may be thinking is Ernest Rutherford’s atomic theory, (1911) where Rutherford suggested that the atoms may look like electrons revolving around proton, kind of like the earth moving about the sun in a solar system.

 

However, modern studies has shown that this is not how atoms work. So now more widely accepted theory is the “atomic orbital” — that the position of an electron is randomly decided and so it can not be predicted.

Believe it or not, that's a real theory out there, that people think we are all living inside a giant brain or body, of which some cults and so on refer to as "god". And others think god is the universe becoming concious and all our brains are likewise "universes" within each one of us with beings inside of it, which we are "gods of". Our brains are indeed "universes" inside of us, but not in a literal sense.

 

But a more likely explanation, Jehovah is consistant in his designs. I take this to be a deeper meaning of Solomon's words that "there is nothing new under the sun". I think these penned words refer to the fact that, despite that we keep inventing things, technology, music, and so on... none of it is "new", because we can only concieve of what we have experienced (a person born blind can't think of colours for example, and we can't invent new colours in our imagination).

 

I theorise that every machine we have already exists in the universe on microscopic level or atomic level, made first by Jehovah, and we can make bigger versions of these things in mechanical form, because the subconcious experiences it in nature.

The design of the atom and/or universe may seem the same and seem very simple for what it actually does ... but then, think of it this way, Jehovah is the ultimate designer and He used the ultimate design - and like they say, "If it ain't broke - don't fix it"
