Scaling Recurring Patterns. All made up of self-similar bit-parts. All the while also playing a self-similar bit-part inside of something larger.

Disclaimer for the pedantic ones...

This only speaks to sense-of-scale,

As electrons are actually fields, not particles,

Amongst other non scale-related poetic license-taken.



If you could shrink small enough to live inside of one H₂O molecule,


Just you and 3 atoms all contained inside the same single water particle,


And if you lived on 1 electron orbiting 1 of those 3 atoms, 


And if you were as small to that electron that you are now to Earth,


From that electron’s surface -


To your naked eye,


the nucleus of the atom that you're orbiting would look strikingly like the sun, 


the center of the 2 other atoms would resemble 2 stars out there dotting the night sky,


With a telescope,


focused tightly, you might find the other electrons orbiting those 2 stars like planets,


focused wider, those 2 stars and their electrons both look like 2 other solar systems,


focused deeper, you will see other H₂O molecules entirely - other tiny galaxies.
