Universe, the chemical soup

    So, Let's start from the smallest unit of matter, the atom. Just to rewind middle school physics and chemistry, atom is composed of protons (positive particles), electrons (negative particles) and the neutral neutron particles. Protons and neutrons compose the nucleus that are surrounded by electrons in orbits.

    Nuclear force attract protons and neutrons in nucleus and electromagnetic force hold the electrons around the nucleus. The number of protons inside the nucleus is the atomic number and each specific element has fixed number of protons. For instance, the atomic number of oxygen is 8. 

    It doesn't end there! Subatomic particles such as quarks compose protons and neutrons. Sixty one different elementary particles are known including the leptons, gauge and scalar bosons. They are presumed to be indivisible and not composed of other particles. These elementary particles are less than 10−19 meters. Now let's observe the biggest known size, the diameter of observable universe is 8.8×10²⁶ m. 
    The similarity between an atom and the universe, with planets revolving around the sun in orbits similar to the electrons around the nucleus of the atom. The planets are held together by the gravitational force and electrons by the electromagnetic force.

Let's ponder over the questions:

1. Is the planetary system, a specific type of bigger element making a bigger molecule such as galaxies and a much bigger system called universe?
2. Are we inside a chemical soup of extraordinary forces and elements?
3. Do we reside inside the electrons of the universe?
4. Is it a biggest scientific experiment performed by a researcher?
5. He doesn't know we exist in the electrons of the universe...but humans have understood the smallest particle of atoms...who is superior here?
6. If the enormity of the universe frightens us, what about the minisculity of the atoms and subatomic particles?
7. How and why does this chemical soup of the larger (Universe) as well as the smaller (atom) particle exists?
8. Is big bang the strongest nuclear explosion?
9. Is hydrogen and helium depicted as siva and sakthi in scriptures?
