Dude, the way you presented that info was great. My mind was indeed blown
I made this for facebook if people wanna spread the mind blow:
Man that is awesome! I am truly honored. Thank you for that

Well I wasn't going to insert any doom and gloom, but now that you mention it, let's go a little deeper down the rabbit hole shall we?
Let's say that I am correct and our sun is in fact an electron orbiting the nucleus of an atom, and it just so happens that its not just any electron, but a VALENCE electron.
In chemistry, a valence electron is an electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair. The presence of valence electrons can determine the element's chemical properties and whether it may bond with other elements: For a main group element, a valence electron can only be in the outermost electron shell. In a transition metal, a valence electron can also be in an inner shell.
An atom with a closed shell of valence electrons (corresponding to an electron configuration s2p6) tends to be chemically inert. An atom with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell is highly reactive, because the extra valence electrons are easily removed to form a positive ion. An atom with one or two valence electrons fewer than a closed shell is also highly reactive, because of a tendency either to gain the missing valence electrons (thereby forming a negative ion), or to share valence electrons (thereby forming a covalent bond).
Like an electron in an inner shell, a valence electron has the ability to absorb or release energy in the form of a photon. This gain or loss of energy can trigger an electron to move (jump) to a more outer shell or even break free from its associated atom's valence shell; this is known as atomic excitation. When an electron loses energy (thereby causing photons to be emitted), then it moves to a more inner shell.
Does that help connect the dots a little?

The theory raises a necessary awareness about the nature of our existence and how it is at once infinitesimally small and infinitely large-- all a matter of perspective. It also raises an important point about patterns in nature-- specifically sacred geometry present in all sizes and spaces in the universe.
Unfortunately, regarding this theory in particular, over the years I've become skeptical about any further implications than those two. Other than the basic apparent shape, I simply don't see any further correlations between how our solar system as we know it functions exactly in the same manner as particles, electrons, atoms etc. Of course, there is a lot to learn in the subatomic universe, so are you just saying "we don't know enough yet to confirm this as science," or do you have any other specific correlations that make you believe that our sun in fact behaves as an electron (and every other implication you are making here)?
Since I haven't seen it posted yet, here's a famous image called the Pale Blue Dot, taken from the Voyager 1 spacecraft while it was 6 billion km away from Earth. If you've never seen it, the image and fantastic quote by Sagan together blow the mind quite nicely when it comes to putting things in perspective
