i don't think the solar system would have directly paralell an atom for it to be a valid idea. as for things appearing and reappearing - maybe it doesn't happen so clean cut - time being relative - maybe we just can't measure or observe the details yet. if u consider how long it takes the planets to orbit - and how fast electrons move - it's almost like us looking at another dimension to look at an atom.

for all we know we are on an electron in an atom in a molecule in a dried up speck of hooker spit in a red roof inn which exists only for a few hours before the hotel maid washes the sheets.
