Given the scale of empty space in the universe, is it not analogous to the empty space around protons and neutrons, even atoms themselves?
Really makes one think.

>just enough empty space to create the empty space for your atoms
a whole lot of emptiness around here

I actually wish they could be right. I would be so happy

if stars were nuclei and planets were electrons would the universe be like a gas or a solid or what?

It's analogous because everything in our universe is discrete, whatever the scale.

Maybe. The universe seems to scale in fractal like patterns. As we see below, we see above. And we also see in our own place as well with the oceans/fish

No, it's really not.
Objects like planets orbit around stars slowly enough that we can track them and study them.
While an electron orbits around a nucleus so fast that it's impossible to pin down its specific location and it's more like a smear of probability that exists everywhere along its orbit at once.
And the electrostatic force that keeps an electron orbiting a nucleus is very different from gravity and has nothing to do with masses pulling on each other

Nothing I said has anything to do with superposition.
When the blades on a fan spin fast enough that you can't (easily) stick your fingers through the gaps between the blades, that doesn't mean the fan blades are in superposition.

You said an electrons position is a smear of probability. If you meant thats what it looks like in experiments, not what it actually is, then okay but its still not what you said.
Its all relative anyway, there could hypothetically be some microscopic fairies whose perception is very fast so to them an electron orbit looks as slow as a planet orbit to us
