In a previous post I stated that "there must be more for us out there." Actually, maybe we are missing that there is more for us in there. Just because our ability to observe and measure anything past the inner cellular level is limited to the technology we have at hand, we tend to forget that Space is infinite. Even though we can't observe at such a small focus doesn't mean we shouldn't be interested in such minute levels of Space,,, and more importantly Space is infinite so even though it is minute relative to a human's niche in Space, it is not minute relative to Space in general. Relative to humans: atoms are small and galaxies are large. While a human can sort of gauge the size of a galaxy (we know how long a mile is, a light year is a shit load of miles, and a galaxy is a shit load of light years across), we have a really hard time gauging the size of an atom (a trillionth of a mile just doesn't mean anything to a human let alone a trillion trillionths of a mile).
We know that millions of atoms help to form more familiar objects like pillows and bendy-straws, but our familiarity with those tangible items do not help us better understand the atom,,, so we are stuck, waiting for scientists to develop a more advanced scope to capture a peak at what these atoms are doing. Currently everything we know about the atom (much like the Allegory of the Cave) is how things built of atoms behave under certain conditions, much like studying an object by only being able to observe the object's shadow. A shadow could be the energy change in an object due to a chamical reaction.
We're kind of in the dark here, but technological advancements are turning on the lights one by one. Ultimately we really need to stop overlooking the reality that the Space you can cup in your hands is just as important as the Space that is our Milky Way Galaxy. In our tangible universe, there are a couple limiting attributes: first limit is the speed c, second limit is the mass ZERO. But we can observe the "shadows" of things with speed c and mass 0. We are seeing the shadows of items in another universe, and my next post will try to define some of the things that exist in the Sub-atomic (Supervelocity) Universe, and define some of their attributes. Could we ever enter this particular other universe?
