serafaeryFrom my limited knowledge of physics (through philosophy studies which have included talks by particle physicists, and reading a little Feynman), I'm fairly certain that there is no such thing as the Higgs Boson, that the current Large Hadron Collider is hoping to find. They will just keep finding smaller and smaller pieces of pieces.
I am thinking that maybe there is no smallest anything. It goes onto infinity. Smaller and smaller. The only limit is how sensitive our instruments for looking at small things are.
Likewise, perhaps, the universe that we exist in is infinitely big. Maybe there is no largest thing, no largest bubble of existence we sit inside. It just goes on and on into infinity.
My brain can't even understand what that means, because I am a human, and I am wired to see things as individual, as "big" or "small" in comparison to other big and small things.
Everything is relative.
I've wondered about infinite time, and infinite space, so why not infinite size? Same idea I guess. Just because we can't wrap our heads around it, doesn't mean it's not possible.
