My theory on size

[K_Shootz_Den]

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:

Actually the biggest thing would have to be the universe. Which, in theory, is expanding until further notice. What I do not understand, is that if is expanding, then is there not a ... wall? A massive wave of nuclear energy? Who knows...

why is the universe the biggest thing?

Fuck it, I'm just going to say it: Humans are pretty stupid. As far as we know, the universe is the largest thing there is. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter, because anything that is smaller than that is energy. Also, the universe is pretty damn big, take a look at this.

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 pretty awesome.

jupiter?...its planet...planets are didfferent from stars...which is why stars are called stars and planets are called planets...theyre not the same...no matter what size...size doesnt make something a star...

I heard somewhere, that if Jupiter was much bigger, it could have ignited into a star.

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

I got a great paradox for you... youre walking from point A to B and lets say theres ten meters between the two points, well you could just keep on halving that distance endlessly (10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, etc) so that means theres an infinite number of points between the two right, so how do you walk past an infinite number of points?

(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 star
