I am the only one? Does anyone else notice that atoms and solar systems resemble each other???

[TJ22]

Any one else? Any thoughts?

 

[radiocore]

you're not the only one...i've noticed this for something back in high school...cool huh? 😉

 

[Bignate603]

they do in a the more simplistic bohr model but once you get into the quantum model the resemblence kinda falls apart (that's also where I start to get confused.)

 

[Mutilator]

This topic kinda gave me a MIB flashback 🙂
"The galaxy is on Orion's Belt."

 

[Electric Amish]

Yeah, in they do in the Bohr model.

Like Bignate said, in the more accurate Quantum model the resemblence ends.

amish

 

[rudder]

I definetly agree... only with the Bohr model.

 

[goshdarnindie]

I agree, but I'm getting Bohr'ed, so I'll be on my way.

And when you see a galaxy, it looks just like a whirlpool in a toilet. Your point is...?

 

[Ameesh]

hahaha thats centriptal force for yah, damn thing works the same way everywhere 🙂

 

[Elledan]

At first sight it looks the same, but when looking closer, you'll see many differences.

 

[beat mania]

That's just a dumb down model so people can understand it.

 

[littleprince]

even in the bohr model...
for electron jumping...
i just cant see earth shiftings its orbit dramaticaly like that...

 

[bacillus]

doh, having been looking at any atoms lately in cosmology class! 😀

 

[Cattlegod]

the bohr model is wrong. its so far off its like telling children that babies come from the stork instead of the real process.

 

[Siva]

I hate the quantum model, I hate chem! 😛

 

[sandorski]

So, is there an illustration of the Quantum model somewhere?

 

[ElFenix]

even bohr abandoned the bohr model like two years after he made it up.

hahahahah true 🙂
