The first part was me being humbled by the intellectual conversation and it going way over my head so I said the dumbest thing I could think of to level it out. But then I reread it and learned something. Planck scale being built up from minimum units? I’m assuming this is what string theory is attempting to do? Also don’t you find it kind of stupid that the largest size is 10m^26 and the smallest is 10m^-35 and we naturally observe the universe closest to 10m^0? Like we’re right in the middle of that? Seems obvious that looking in each direction and hitting a wall is analogous to naturally looking into the distance and only being able to see so far and looking closely and only being able to see so far.
Oh yeah, that’s super interesting! I think our understanding of the universe (and conseqentially, our theories) are a byproduct of our place in the universe. If we were on a smaller scale and still had the same intelligence, perhaps we could peer deeper in one direction, at the cost of the other. I think there could be infinte complexity hiding just beyond our reach.
