Solar system Quote by John D. Barrow

Download Open image
““Particles like protons or electrons occupy microscopic niches into which only one particle is allowed to sit. Any attempt to compress matter so that more than one particle would be squeezed into each niche is met by a resisting force. The balance between this force and the inward push of gravity results in the large, stable, cold bodies we see in the solar system.””
