Great point. We should also add for @Vupperware 's benefit that subatomic orbitals the way they’re envisioning them are a lie we tell ourselves because quantum mechanics is too damn weird to think about.
In fact, probably the greatest argument against atoms as smaller scale worlds is the fuckiness (technical term) of quantum mechanics on that scale. “Worlds” existing only as a probabilistic distribution might make existence difficult.
See I’m the opposite, the fuckiness at that scale is my greatest argument for their possible existence, accepting that their existence would be in a manner completely alien and unintelligible to me. There’s SO MUCH fuckiness that anything is possible.
