Is it possible that the our solar system, galaxy, or universe is an atom or atoms in a larger universe?
No.
Yes.
Maybe.
Ask again later.
Yes, every star is the nucleus of an enormous atom. This is actually the subject of my thesis.

Would require further research, our current knowledge base is far too lacking to answer this question
DUDE WEED LMAO

Well, atoms in our universe only have a certain amount of internal structure. You can go down to the proton level, and then divide protons into quarks, and then that's it. Quarks are indivisible and don't have internal state. So the analogy doesn't completely work

>Quarks are indivisible and don't have internal state
How can this actually be proven?
>>7761019
It can only be disproven
>>7761019
Right now our only testable theory for particle physics is the standard model, and in the standard model quarks aren't composed of anything.

There's also Bell's Theorem, which might be relevant. It says that no complicated deterministic system can produce the same predictions as quantum mechanics, which might mean that there can't be a deterministic universe inside atom, because we already know that atoms behave according to QM
