In the macroscopic world, the solar system is a system of celestial bodies centred on the sun, in which the vast majority of mass is concentrated and the major planets orbit the sun, while in the microscopic world, an atom is a microscopic system centred on the nucleus of an atom, in which the vast majority of mass is concentrated and electrons orbit the nucleus.

What Is The End Point Of The Evolution Of Carbon-Based Life? How Far Away Is Humanity From This Endpoint?
Theoretically, life can take many different forms, such as silicon-based life, sulphur-based life, carbon-based life, amino-life, hydrogen-based life, etc. However, so far we only know that life exists on earth, and all known life, including us humans, is carbon-based.

How Terrible Is The Strongest Known 'Starquake'? It's The Equivalent Of a 21 Magnitude Earthquake And Would Be Too Much For Earth To Handle
Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon known to all of us, and they are not unique to the earth. In theory, any planet with a solid crust can have an 'earthquake', and for the sake of distinction, we can call it a 'starquake'. The strength of a 'starshock' varies from planet to planet, so how terrible is the strongest known 'starshock'?

Will Humanity Be Trapped In The Solar System Forever? What Would Humanity Do Without Ftl And Wormholes?
The solar system is a system of celestial bodies kept in motion by the sun's gravity, which means that all bodies within the effective range of the sun's gravity are part of the solar system, so by this definition, how large is the solar system?

If You Sink a 100kg Solid Iron Ball Into The Deepest Part Of The Sea, Will The Ball Be Deformed By The Pressure?
According to known exploration data, the deepest seabed on earth is the marianas trench, located at the bottom of the pacific ocean. The measurement data shows that the deepest part of the marianas trench can reach 11,034 meters, where the pressure is about 110 mpa, equivalent to 1.1 tons of weight per square centimeter. So the question arises, if you take a 100kg solid iron ball and sink it into the deepest part of the sea floor, will the iron ball be deformed by the pressure?

Why Is It That Only Uranium And Plutonium Can Be Used For Nuclear Fuel? But Not Other Elements?
The more "nucleons" an atomic nucleus contains, the greater its mass, but scientists have found that the average mass of the "nucleons" of different elements is different

There Is No Air In Space To Provide Reaction Forces, So Where Does The Power To Move The Spacecraft Forward Come From?
The law of conservation of momentum means that the total momentum of a system remains constant when it is not subject to external forces or when the sum of the vectors of external forces is zero
