because it only seems believable if you're using an outdated and simplified model for atoms, and forget about the fact that atoms are also made up of protons/neutrons who are in turn made up of quarks, and the fact that there are a whole bunch of other fundamental particles that don't give a toss about atoms.

If you look at the more accurate electron cloud model it stops making sense to compare it to a solar system.
