Subject: is the universe a large atom?

ok, so you say..."Crazy kid, what are you talking about?"  Think about it.
An atom is a nucleus w/ electrons flying around it in set patterns, right? 
Well, then couldn't the nucleus be our sun?  "Yes, but where are the 
protons and neutrons," you say.  They are already there.  The sun is made 
up of compounds and matter so the sun has to have protons and neutrons in 
it, and since the sun is so dense the planets revolve around it proves 
that it has the most protons and neutrons.  With that in mind the planets 
become the electrons. The empty space is the same that would be between 
the very atoms that make up compounds in our bodies just on a different 
scale... we can be a part of something bigger than we can imagine.  This 
might sound dumb to some people, ok most people, but it's something that 
will make you think when you look at the stars.  

~Thank you for your time.
