The Smallest Levels of Reality

At one point in history we thought that a grain of sand was as small

as anything you’d ever likely find. Then, mankind discovered the atom, followed by what atoms were made of, what the things that made atoms were made of, and so on and so forth until we reached the bottom. So is this true? Have we really found the bottom limit of existence? If so, what are the smallest levels of reality?The atom is what many people refer to when they’re asked to describe something small, like your ex-husband’s brain, or the amount of spread left in the tub after your selfish roommate had eight slices of toast for breakfast. A quark is a type of dairy product made from warm, soured milk until it curdles. The milk is strained, and it is technically classified as a fresh, acid-set cheese. Wait. I think I’ve got the wrong type of quark here.A neutrino is another elementary particle just like a quark, but its mass is the smallest of all and was once thought to be absolute zero.The Planck Length is the limit of the scale at which our accepted ideas of time, space, gravity and reality make sense.

The smallest thing in the universe is the X button on phone ADS

Wow. We all exist in a physical reality that is both incomprehensibly large and incomprehensibly small. What an unbelievable gift it is to get to experience all of this, even if its in an incredibly limited way. Life truly is a gift. Well, time to go back to my shitty-ass job so I can trade my miraculous existence for a little stack of paper that validates my place in all of this.

"Ex husband's brain"istg I thought he was gonna say something else

What if the universe was like a fractal? Never ending-ly repeating as you zoom in or out? The stars and planets could be the base particles of a much larger world or universe out there. An atom, if it had eyes, would probably view the world like we do the universe, an abyss. What if we're just another part of that fractal system? Now, I'm just raising a question, I don't hold those beliefs, I'm just thinking and spouting

Why do I keep watching these at 2am ( even the non creepy ones are creepy )

I lost it at “Like a skinny girls BUTT it has no shape”

"Like some kind of cosmic burrito."
I love this channel.

[ivispark]

I love how you explain this for those of us who had science teachers that just cared about the equations instead of ALL THE REST. Many thanks 🙏

With the ever increasing amount of sludge posted on YouTube, Strange Mysteries offers relief and well presented content. Thank You. I'm off to clean the quark sludge out of my refrigerator.

I think the thing I really love about this channel, is the narrators are like that really fucking cool science teacher: Loose, great humor, and keeps me interested and wanting to seriously learn more of what they find.

[NocturnalRS]

The production quality of this channel is absolutely through the roof!

Am I the only one who is in the shower and ends up forgetting if they used conditioner so they just do it again and end up using it twice half the time?

[DEs]

That explanation of planck length blew my mind.

[stargazer]

That sand castle part made me laugh so hard ! It came out of nowhere lol

Wherever self consciousness arises in eternity it will feel like it’s in the center of both scale and distance.

I think the smallest level of reality is the absolute fact for a physical object to merely exist just in order to disprove the notion of nothingness.
