Infinitely small!
What does that mean?
That it is the smallest thing in the world.
Infinitely big!
What does that mean?
That it is the biggest thing in the world.
Sounds simple.
But I reached a weird thought after watching these 2 different documentaries:
1. PBS - Nova - The Elegant Universe - Part II - Strings the Thing
2. Dangerous Knowledge
A creative idea with no meaning or sense came into my mind on merging the two documentaries.
No matter how big you go, there is something bigger waiting to be explored.
From Earth to Multi-Universe, the moment we understand something, we find something bigger to be explored.
Almost like its unreal or illogical.
Could this be the other way round?
No matter how small we go, there will be something smaller waiting to be explored.
Like a circle of radius X is made up of infinite lines with no gaps in between. lets call the gap between the lines at center 'G' which is nearest to zero.(kind of like derivation).
We increase the radius of circle to X+1 and there is more space for lines, so there is a number between 'G' and zero. And there always will be a number between that and so on.
No matter how small you go, there is something smaller than that. There is no zero. Hence, there is no building block. It sounds absurd, maybe thats what our world is - absurd.
It certainly does not mean we should stop exploring, but what if it IS true?
What if we live in an unreal world.
Black holes, quantum physics all deal with infinity and randomness. Which is illogical.
At both the extreme ends of our world, lies something which cannot be explained using mathematics.
Its like the color band of light and our eyes.
We see only a limited band of wavelength of light through our eyes.
But it does not mean that is all that exists.
There exists more and certainly I believe there exists more beyond what can be explained by mathematics.
But poor us, our brains have developed to live and function in mathematics and logical world.
We cannot percieve beyond that.
Hence we may never know/feel/understand their working even if someone were to lay it down to us.
Just like we cannot imagine/see how a 4 Dimensional cube would look like.
I am not trying to go anywhere with this.
Its just a meaningless random though.
Say, could it be that sky is red and we only see it as blue?
Well certainly if you see it with red glasses, it will look red since it will reflect everything but red light.
But would it mean it is red?
So ya, just a thought.
