those two events happen at extraordinary scales from each other. Coincidence or an accident ?

Truly extraordinary scales and super-extraordinarily different properties between the "big and the "small". So different that a whole new field of physics was borne -> quantum mechanics.
And "unifying" the big and small remains the so called "holy grail" of physics.
