Microscopes and telescopes show you strikingly similar patterns. Microscopes show you atoms, each composed of a nucleus being orbited by electrons. Telescopes show you solar systems, each composed of a star being orbited by planets. An atom is sort of a Micro Solar System, and a solar system is kind of a Macro Atom. You and me? Each of us are an astronomically complex structure that's made up of 7 octillion (7 X 10²⁷) atoms, which is 7 billion billion billion atoms - each atom of which can only be seen with a microscope. And we live on one of the 700 quintillion (700 X 10¹⁸) planets, which is 700 billion billion planets, that occupy the universe - all but 6 including Earth of which can only be seen with a telescope. How did these octillions of minuscule atoms and quintillions of massive planets, and you and me, come to be? We do not know for sure as of this writing.
Like a Russian nesting doll, the doll inside a doll inside a doll... We are nested on the scale smack-dab at the midpoint. The midpoint between the two other scales. The two other scales that bookend us. The bookends, as in - the very smallest and the very farthest things that our best microscopes and telescopes make visible to us. The bookends being, specifically - 1. Quarks (the teeniest tiniest parts that make up the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus an atom), and 2. the Cosmic Microwave Background (the enormous horizon of our universe that encloses like an eggshell that looks and sounds like TV and Radio static).
These size and distance differences between each gradation of the nesting doll are vast differences of size-dimension. But these vast differences aside, each gradation is a same but different replica of all the other gradations - scaling self-similar patterns that get more and more microscopic in one direction and more and more telescopic in the other direction.
Example
If you could shrink to a size small enough to live inside a single water molecule.
And assuming that you lived on the surface of an electron that belongs to one of the three H₂O atoms. And that you were the same size compared to that electron as you are right now to Earth.
From the surface of that one electron, the nucleus of your atom that you are orbiting around would look like the sun. And the nucleus of each of the two other atoms would look like two stars out there. And you would need a telescope in order to see the other electrons.
Like two mirrors hung on opposite walls of a hallway facing each other, where when you stand between them you see an infinite repeating image of yourself in each direction - the atomic and celestial models which our microscope and telescope each show us, these two models are infinitely repeating patterns in both directions; one direction becoming more microscopic into infinity and the other direction becoming more telescopic into infinity.
