It is the entirety of It is the entirety of It is the entirety of It is the entirety of It

Bohr Model
Solar System
Today, being the 127th Birthday of Neil Bohr got me thinking. Bohr devised the simple atomic structure model called Bohr model [picture on the left]. According to Wikipedia "Bohr model, introduced by Niels Bohr in 1913, depicts the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons that travel in circular orbits around the nucleus—similar in structure to the solar system, but with electrostatic forces providing attraction, rather than gravity."

Milkyway Galaxy
If we step it up a notch we might as well compare the Bohr Model to the entire galaxy as billions of stars rotating around a black hole in the middle. Then I started to see a pattern emerging here.  This nature of self-similarity of matter (mass or mass-less) conforms to the Fractal Pattern* (a set of repeating pattern that forms the entirety of the same pattern). If I dare say it, this pattern might not end with the galaxies but extend to universes or multiverse. While we're at it, I might add that the image of Milkyway Galaxy [picture on the right] also looks like a set of vibrating strings conjoined in the center. Just a speculation !!! 


* Fractal has captivated my imagination for a while now and I would surely contemplate it in the near future.
