Atoms.

[yuki]

Try to get the idea of how small an atom is, then that everything is made out of lifeless atoms. Even life is made out of atoms. We're built of Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, and various other elements. It's really hard to comprehend how everything 'just works' at that level. There is no further complexity, that's as small as it gets. Atoms don't think, they just do, but they build us, and we think.

Now, think about splitting a piece of wood, or chalk. Now realize that it fragments. You can keep breaking it until it's just dust, but even then it's still connected at some level. Now, think of an atom, more specifically a proton. There is nothing smaller than protons and neutrons. Try to comprehend splitting it, but process the fact that it won't fragment or splinter, there's nothing else smaller that builds the proton.

Quarks.

Think about it.

my friend atom isnt small!!!

[Truce]

There is nothing smaller than protons and neutrons.

Quarks.

[Valen]

Quarks.

They also discovered that quarks are made of even smaller things.

[yuki]

Quarks.

Oh wow, I totally forgot about quarks.

They also discovered that quarks are made of even smaller things.

Well, looks like that whole second paragraph is null.

i know something smaller than all of that!

A small portion of *whatever you say*

We discussed this in Gateway to Tech at school. Heres what he told us:
"Imagine that I offer to give you one atom of gold for every second that has elapsed since the Big Bang, the beginning of time. How much gold am I offering you?"
He told is we'd get 21 cents.

Now think of all the atoms that can possibly be contained in the universe and you have still not conceptualized Graham's Number

For those of you who don't feel like reading a wikipedia page about massive numbers, this is how to imagine Graham's number.

Take 3^3^3. That is 19,683. This is the number of 'To the power of...'s in the next step of Graham's Number. There are 64 steps in this process. That is Graham's number. I daresay this number is larger than most people's conceptions of infinity.

i'm 0.000000000000000000000000000 01% T-Rex, 0.000000000000000000000000000 01% George Washington, 0.000000000000000000000000000 01% Jurassic plant, etc. Atoms are always reused, theres no delete button for them! except for the "Delete" button on my keyboard thats made out of Atoms

I have half a quark, what do I have? :D
