What if 1 box is slightly smaller in all dimensions?

All the boxes are closed ant you can't open them! Not even if you ask nicely...

For the dudes without sound, what was the amazing fact in the video?

If you got all 6 billion people in the world and took out the empty space in their bodies they would all fit in a cube the size of a sugar cube.

So you're saying we're basically 99% of.... nothing? :eek:

So it's kinda like WinZip then lol, Just remove all the zeros lol.

No - 99.9999999999999% of nothing

I just headbutted this wall and I certainly felt a lot more than 0.00000000001% of it

Rather astounding science.

I have a ridiculous theory that I like to entertain in my own imagination, simply because the so very very small seems to be very similar to the so very very large.
Our planet/protons spin around a nucleus/sun, being held together by a strongforce/gravity, and there is a lot of space between each, and many combinations.

Its not hard to believe that all the suns and planets would squeeze into something as small compared to the universe.

Maybe... the universe is a larger atom itself? :eek:

So where does God fit into all this?

Nothing new to me in this. The majority of an atom is empty space. We are made up of atoms. Thus...

Yoo da man.

It's not impossible by any means. Remember, the WHOLE universe was the size of a full stop once, that kind of compression puts 7zip to shame.

hehe

You felt the strong atomic/electrical bond, rather than contact of atoms

. And because if this, you'll never make contact with anyone or anything, will be like 2 magnets always repelling lol. Well, in my basic understanding of everything hah.

Yeah. My chemistry lecturer explained this to us by saying that we aren't actually sitting on the seats, we are in fact hovering above them. He then went on and said that our arses could therefore be described as repulsive

You're almost right, I'll never make contact not because of the contact of atoms, but because I have a restraining order placed on me.

Speak for yourself! I'm a bum model!

By bum model I mean unemployed...

This would depress me beyond relief! I want to be the biggest and baddest...

Just watched that video and the bloke is wrong. The whole Universe can be squeezed into a space smaller than electron.

Read about Planks Length. All will become clear.

I find the QP 'double slit' experiment far more earth shattering.

I can remember thinking at highschool just how vacuous atoms looked/were.
