Something can be as big as it wants, b/c space does not end, so can something be as small as it wants??

I think the theory is that the center of a black hole is infinitely small as it is allways contracting in time and space, but as I,ve said before with this type of question, man will never be intelligent enough to know the truth ( even though it,s out there )

Infinity does not just mean very, very big - it means never-ending, so the concept of big or small is irrelevant in infinite terms.
The smallest thing ever known is the singularity that went boom causing the big bang, but even that wasn't infinitely small.
The minute you call anything big or small, you apply spatial dimensions therefore there is nothing infinite about it.
Good question, made me think.

In my Fractal Foam Model of Universes, our whole "known universe" fits very easily inside an electron of a super-universe and a comparable amount of a sub-universe exists within an electron of our universe. The pattern repeats to infinity, both large and small. A cubic meter of our space contains about a googol times the sub-universe equivalent of our "known universe".

No, i do not think anything is infinity small, it is zero or nothing.
Some units may be infinity negative. To use the word small in this situation is not logic. Infinity negative units can be " big".

If you divide one by three , you obtain a number which seems to go to infinity.
Neverthe less it has a limit which is one third.The number can never be smaller than that. Other wise it woulds cease to exist.
The Universe radius vector was calculated using Hubbles constant. It is defined as 1.42 x10^29 millimeters long.
To us it appear infinite . But on the contrary it is finite, having a defined space curvature.
This was what Einstein did postulate and it is believed that he is correct.

The answer is no, and I can't remember if it's Planc's number, or if it's named after someone else... but there is point at which nothing can *be* smaller. Its a quantized unit which means all sizes and lengths are multiples of this number.

something that doesn't exist is infinitely small.
the whole of existence itself is infinitely big; no individual thing that exists could be infinitely big (apart from the sum of everything), because there couldn't then be anything outside of that thing...

Absolutely!.
There is a universe within an atom.
