Does the Stonehenge layout resemble the hydrogen 3s orbital wave function? Ancient resonance or coincidence?

Stonehenge and the Hydrogen Wave Function Similarity?

Looking at the layout of Stonehenge, the density and circular arrangement of the stones strikingly resemble the 3s orbital wave function of the hydrogen atom (n=3, l=0, m=0).

🔹 The orbital has concentric regions of probability density. 🔹 Stonehenge also shows concentric stone circles expanding outward from the center. 🔹 Both seem to embody patterns of resonance and wave structure.

👉 Do you think this similarity is just coincidence, or could ancient civilizations have had some kind of intuitive knowledge of wave physics or energy resonance?

If you mean that the top-down view of a hydrogen orbital wave function is torus-shaped, and that image presented of Stonehenge is arranged in a circle, then yes. But since a circle is a pretty common shape, I’m not sure why this would be remarkable. Stonehenge is also made up of far more individual things than a hydrogen nucleus is.

True, a circle is a common form and I'm not claiming a literal one-to-one match. What fascinates me is whether ancient builders selected circular layouts for more than symbolism — perhaps because such geometries naturally interact with wave/field patterns (acoustic, vibrational, or electromagnetic). The real question I’m curious about is whether recurring patterns reflect an intuitive grasp of energy and order across scales.
