My vision of atomRelated content

No trying to be nitpicky:
It's a cool picture, well-made, well-edited, but as a "vision" of an atom, it's quite inaccurate.
At the atomic level, color ceases to be noticeable, because the electromagnetic waves that make up the visible spectrum of light are longer than atoms. Color can't be represented if the data needed to represent it is bigger than the atom, basically.
Also, electron orbitals aren't perfectly circular. In fact, they're extremely erratic. There's also way more empty space, or "void", between the nucleus and its electrons.
Also, the nucleus should be much smaller.
