Einstein's "unified field theory" says the same physical laws govern both the microcosm and the macrocosm. If so, then stars are gigantic atoms and atoms are tiny suns, and our own Sun literally gave birth to the Earth; how else to explain that both the Sun and the Earth are electro-magnetic dynamos; and how else to explain the distance between a planet and a sun is relatively similar to the distance between a nuclius and its particle? Further, I suggest our Universe will not expand forever, but reach a point at which it will reverse and implode, like the pulsars we see in what I believe are the farthest reaches of detectable space.
