The Incredible Atom

As described by playwright Tom Stoppard in his play "Hapgood": "Now make a fist, and if your fist is as big as the nucleus of an atom then the atom is as big as St.Pauls, and if it happens to be a hydrogen atom then it has a single electron flitting about like a moth in an empty cathedral, now by the dome, now by the altar."
