So basically they both seem to act like their larger scale selves, but in this case affecting physical characteristics of atoms. Special relativity is going to make the electrons more heavy and thus change their ionization energies and interactions with other atoms and energy. Gravity is going to affect their physical geometries? Idk.
But this reminds me of muonic atoms. I wonder if there’s some sort of point where the periodic table of electrons and protons/neutrons starts to mirror its lower energy self with heavier muon atoms.
Just thinking in a text box here, don’t kill me please...
Edit:
The muon to electron mass ratio is about 206 for a square root of about 14.4.
I found an equation that says the energy of that electron is on the order of 1/L^2 so to get muonic effects for the electron the box size of the bound electron, L, needs to decrease by about 1.5 magnitude.
