a: atom ~
b: tinny soap bubble

What:

"On top of that, for many decades they thought that the nucleus in the center of the atom was solid but it turns out that atoms are like tiny soap bubbles made of 99.999% empty space inside the outter shell and that shell is not solid either but made of an electromagnetic field so we could "in theory", pass our hands through an atom and not touch something solid. "

A nice discussion of atoms and stuff.
