ok think about it, to us, the smallest thing is an atom, but why is it the smallest thing? because its the smallest we can see, before we had microscopes the smallest things were like grains of sand, but our technology allows us to see smaller things, so what i think is that theres no end to size, there isnt, theres no smallest thing, only the smallest thing we can see, theres no biggest thing, its all an endless cycle :rasta:
why is the universe the biggest thing?Quote:

The atom is not claimed to be the smallest particle. There is a whole theory written on this about the particles the make up each particle going all the way to a photon. A good book on quantum physics would be a good read for anyone interested in this subject.
another thought: if we're all made of the different elements, which are all made of photons, then theoretically, everything in the universe is composed of the same thing.

Thats actually not a bad theory... Gravity would definatly explain that further.Quote:

(I heard it better than I said it)
im not sure exactly how much stronger the gravitation pull would haver to be but it would be like x10003812047128347=- times more than it is now...which would make jupiter alot small if that was the case, the ammount of matter that sun has compared to jupiter is phemonal...not to mention the sun is still young and still growing...i highly doubt jupiter could be a starQuote:
