This is something I find believable, and I wonder why it’s not commonly discussed more.

because it only seems believable if you're using an outdated and simplified model for atoms, and forget about the fact that atoms are also made up of protons/neutrons who are in turn made up of quarks, and the fact that there are a whole bunch of other fundamental particles that don't give a toss about atoms.

If you look at the more accurate electron cloud model it stops making sense to compare it to a solar system.
