The Future of Air Traffic Control

Making the Connection

Today I compared the miniature solar system of an atom to the giant solar systems in space. The result? They are very similar. If atoms make up our body, and are comprised of these miniature solar systems, containing a nucleus in the center (the sun) and electrons in orbit around it (the planets) then this leads me to believe that the giant solar systems in space make up a body too. We are just too small to see it. I will be conducting further research in this area, and reporting my findings here, as this is of great interest to me. Are we part of a body so big that our solar system is comparable to that of an atom in some huge structure? And can we create the technology to see outside, and get a good idea of exactly what we are a part of, in the vast scope of space?
