about the idea of one atomic model of the day (1957) as a reason to compare it with the solar system and, then, the universe. It all made sense to me. Then, I learned that the atomic model was incorrect. I realized that I needed to be more careful about my musings. This is like that. It's tempting, but wrong, just as was my naive thinking then.

There are connections of the microcosm to the universe, but they are much more complicated than we can imagine. The same is true with the hypothesis you mention.
