Reading about both the largest known structures in the universe and the smallest known structures in the universe (galactic filaments and quantum foam and/or strings [i’m not sure which works best] respectively) led me to an idea:
“What if the macro structures we observe are really micro structures?”
-Think, Men in Black with the galaxy marbles.
“What if galactic filaments are the quantum foam (or strings)?”
All distances are in a 1-1 relationship, such as scale models. Our understanding of physical laws breaks down at both scales. If (big if) you assume that both scales are infinite, then like the counting numbers and the rational numbers, both scales are of the same cardinality… maybe… I didn’t think this through so much as thought “this could be neat”.
And that’s my pseudo-philosophy for the day.
