Atomic Theory

This is a theory that i have been thinking about since junior high school.

We've all seen drawings or renderings of what an atom looks like. There's usually a central sphere, the nucleus, and smaller spheres revolving around it, namely protons and electrons. Looking at those drawings, something always looked familiar to me, like I've seen this schematic before.

Imagine this microverse expanded into a macroverse. Doesn't the atom look like an exact replica of a planet, where the nucleus is a planet, and the charged particles revolving around it being its moons? What the hell is the relevance of this?

Well, if we know that a planet like earth is inhabited with organisms, like human beings, isn't it rational to believe that a smaller version of planet may also be inhabited? Since all matter is comprised of atoms, wouldn't it be conceivable that our bodies are in fact universes? And in this universe, there are planets, which may or may not contain sentient beings...maybe even tiny little humans.

Maybe those theories of inner well-being, chi, miticlorians, etc. may actually be scientifically valid. Kinda like, if we make those little people happy inside those planets, maybe they'll take better care of the planet and thus, taking better care of us.

Now let's blow that up into a macroverse. What if our planet is just one atom that makes up the a gigantic organism? In fact, someone might be looking at our planet right now through a microscope and saying, "look at this atom!" Wouldn't that make you truly feel infinitesimal?
