How infinite is inner space? And are there universes in every atom of my body?

Answer 1

For all we know, our observable Universe is like a molecule on the ring finger of a giant.....

Answer 2

You seem not to be understanding the meaning of the word, "infinite." When something's infinite, that's it. There is no "oh, this length is more infinitely long than this other length" because the concept of infinity is homogenous for all things that are being described by it.

Infinite space is simply infinite space. It's a state of being; nothing is "more infinite" than something else; it's just not reasonable, nor is it logical to say.

Hm, as for the universes in your body--in a sense, there are. A universe is defined as, "a world or sphere in which something exists or prevails," so each atom, to fit this definition may be considered its own seperate world. Interesting way of thinking, I must say...

Answer 3

There are two possible answers to this.

First, the smaller things are, the less definite their location is. This is explained by something called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. This means that as we magnify things, at the atom level and smaller, things get sloppier and harder to define. Eventually, you reach a limit to how small something can be, because it is so small that it cannot retain its "definition". The smallest possible length is called the Planck scale.

It is easy to imagine. Go to a paint program and try to draw a picture of a house using 4 dots. There is not enough room to put the information. Therefore, a picture of a house cannot be that small, and in the same manner, objects cannot be smaller than the Planck scale. So there is a limit to inner space, just like the dots on your computer monitor.

The second possible answer is from string theory - if you continued to magnify, it is possible that each Planck scale unit might contain a whole universe of detail inside, but that is pure speculation at this time. There is no way to test that idea and so it is no more than that - an idea.

Answer 4

There's no proof the universe is infinite.. and no, atoms aren't a universe.

Life adjusts to it's environment, so just as the earth has rivers and streams, so does your body. So, while your body has things that can resemble a solar system, it's just mimicing a pattern of something that is proven to work and readjusts it to work with your body.

Answer 5

Of course there are infinite spaces in every atom of your body

Answer 6

Whether one should call them "Universes", or whether more appropriate to consider them "Solar Systems" is probably one for the scientists capable!!

But it is certainly believed that there is space to burn inside each atom; Yes!!

But according to my brother, that has never actually been physically identified [proven]; it is largely theory, probably drawn from 'readings' of one kind or another!

Answer 7

Innerspace is infinitasmal, not infinite.

It is doubtful that there are universes in every atom of your body.

Answer 8

Ask this question again in about another 10,000 years. We all may truly know the answer by then.

Answer 9

it remain that what u call univers, but there are many under atomic thing in one atom

Answer 10

Very infinite...
