Stars are spheres

Planets are spheres

Atoms are spheres

Butts? Well, those are just two spheres.

Why so many spheres?

Makes you think.

Edit: Fuck I made an orb pondering meme without even trying

    Stars are technically just gas giant planets that got too big.

    Atoms aren't really spheres, it's hard to even explain their shape.

      Not even the elementary particles are perfect spheres, nor can they be. They all are part of a single force separated only because of how cool the universe became.

      The electron is the most spherical of the elementary particles; however, the electroweak force combines electromagnetism and the weak force. During the electroweak epoch - before EM and the Weak force separated - the electron did not exist. Don't believe we have even mapped the physics at that temperature 10^25 Kelvin which is double CERN's record at the LHC.

          I always search for course notes when I want an overview, try this:

      Once you get down to that size, the concept of a concrete barrier between area taken up by a thing and area not taken up by that thing kind of breaks down, doesn’t it?

        There's just a bunch of overlapping fields and atoms are just interference patterns that form on those fields

        Or maybe tiny vibrating strings
