As infinetly big the universe is,does the opposite exist?

Question

I can almost come to grips and accept the enormacy of the universe. It is BIG!...Is small just as infinet?

Answer 1

think of a mathematical point. infinitely small. now add all the mass of the universe as we know it. theoretically possible, but how to explain that matter at billions of degrees C and at an inconcievable density could ever come to be? big bang indeed, once the primordial stuff of the universe expanded. And it is still going, the rate only slowed by the as-yet undetected and invisible 'dark matter'. Einstein was only partially right in his equations.
Within the 'small' can be the 'infinite'. Just like you can turn an equation on it's head by adding a few minuses.
And I must say - if the universe is infinite, how can you hold it in your mind - you have done the opposite, and proved that the infinite is within your grasp. Reduce it as you see fit to do.

Answer 2

Yup. It sure is. Even over just the rationals, if you have a number expressed as 1/n (where n is some integer), I can always write a number even smaller by writing
1/(n+1) ☺

Answer 3

yes.. smallness relative to our size is just as infinite.. but i just think that.. our known and seen universe which is really very vast relative to our size.. may be really really small too.. that its size could be just like 'our atom' relative to a lot greater or bigger space or things.. now that's big.. (of course, that would go on until infinity.. hehehe..) just a thought.. =)

Answer 4

Yes, I think so....
If I understood the question.....
no limit both ways.....

Answer 5

Do you mean INFINITE?
The antonym is infinitessimal.

Answer 6

perhaps they are one and the same
