So this universe is an atom. With atoms in it. But is an atom that is part of a body of atoms.
BananaHeads
But...but what's in the empty space?
InCaseOfEmergencyRun
Ok I am going to need a proof of that claim

Though, we should really acknowledge that this cube would be the most dense object in the universe. Next to your mom, of course.

First we are 77% water and now we are 99.99% air?
bbueller
Except air is atoms too. That means air is 99.999 % nothing. Just like you!
pareidoliaperson
"Just like you"? Was called for here, uh?

not meant to me snarky. just the facts!
yTFuLion
So there is more than 4.9e+27 atoms in a sugar cube?
yTFuLion
This comment is just straight retarded please disregard
Dorsk84
But we would still weight the same as the whole population of earth. And we all die due to not being able to breath or anything.
PoppaBigBear
What if someone had already removed 1% of the empty space and we're now the size of a sugar cube in a lab somewhere?
Ryanator50
we'd be dead tho

What if our universe is something else's sugar cube
bobbot
1%
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
That would prohibit stuff like movement. And since things appear to move, probably not the case.
travisflagg61411
Cant be. The resulting substance would be homogeneous.

The only reason we exist is to walk around, producing energy for some dude's car battery.
bloodtypeinfinity
I always wondered why a guy capable of making wormholes and entire universes would choose literally the least efficient way to make energy.
Bliffity
Because he has a power complex.
bloodtypeinfinity
Couldn't he like, harvest stars or something? Or miniaturize a nuclear fusion reactor? Or trap a black hole in his universe box?
usersubbordercontrol
It's a miniverse, and he could do anything. Even make another smaller miniverse inside!
Onlyhereforthelaughs
That's the idea behind Pym particles, right? Shrinking the space between atoms?
Onlyhereforthelaughs
So how can a shrunken Ant Man, with the same weight of a full Ant Man, run around on people without stomping their arms to the ground? -
Ryanator50
yeah he would have sunken into their flesh, like an adult man putting their weight onto a nail, balanced on a security guard's shoulder.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Or when he gets super huge, not be a total push-over?
HD226868
Because movie physics, that's why.
Ryanator50
yeah he should have collapsed when he went big mode.
mobeis
So... Ant man?
Crafty7630
Yeah, but how big is the sugar cube?
HappyTheKangaroo
The Sugar Cubes where quite big. Interestingly enough a part of the Sugar Cubes called a Bjork is bigger than the Sugar Cubes.
DownvotesAreFun
Sugarcubes here are 1 x 1 cm.
DarkUranium
Only if you subscribe to the holographic principle. Otherwise, they are 1 x 1 x 1 cm.

I once had a 4 hour conversion with my Electronic Engineering professor about the fact that no two objects ever truly touch.
JHawke
I see where you're comming from, but if you want to be THAT technical about the object. You have to be that technical about the word touch >
JHawke
> Touching, is another word for making contact, and one of the definitions of contact is "immediate proximity or association".
MayraV
Yeah, well, it's not "immediate", that's the point. It's really fucking far away.
JHawke
Relatively far for two of the molecules of the object. But we define the object as a whole. And then relatively it is immediate.
MarcUK
Were they saying that as they touched your junk? :D

imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
What I've always had trouble wrapping my brain around is how knives cut at an atomic level.
ILikeCharmanderOk
If you had a thin enough (ie. very microscopic) knife I wonder if you could chop an atom in half.
erowud
no
searchforyeti
well the smallest possible width of the blade would be one atom, no? I doubt you could cut an atom in half with another atom essentially
ILikeCharmanderOk
Good point. What about if you had a one-atom-wide titanium knife and you were cutting a (soft?) atom like magnesium?
vampirehedgehog
A) A titanium atom is larger than a magnesium atom B) The atom isn't soft, the metal is
HD226868
Knife edge cuts down. Cutter and cuttee repel each other. Cutter is made of sterner stuff. Cuttee gets pushed away in two directions.
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
So it's more of a ripping than a cutting?

Are you trying to make a black hole because that's how you make a black hoke
Rabzozo
But it'd be tiny so it's cute and harmless
shuttlecockinakumquat
But how do you make a black hole, then?
AmericasRealBaldEagleCaaaw
Did you ask your mom?! She knows!
kapp70
Exactly! And a black hole the size of a sugarcane ain't gonna Hawking radiation evaporate. It would swallow the entire earth and there 1/2
kapp70
2be a black hole circling the sun where eart is now. The moon would orbit a black hole.

The empire state building would be about the size of a pencil eraser if all empty space were removed.
Ryanator50
wouldn't all the people on earth in a big naked pile be bigger than the empire state building?

are sugar cubes not larger than pencil erasers? The ones I've seen are.

Nothing really contacts anything. If you touch a table, it's magnetic fields of the objects pushing against each other.
Tofus
Cosmos when Neil touches his nose episode blew my mind
ThrobbinHoodz
So... what table?

It's not magnetic fields... it's the weak and strong nuclear forces

And if you touch yourself, that is a very weak nuclear force.

But where the connection between what you just stated and everything being mostly empty space? Because I have also heard that before too
BlackIsAllIFeel
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre An atomic nucleus is about 15fm or less. Electrons orbit at .05nm minimum. HUGE relative distance
annoyingpest
Normal people doesn't know what FM is, if it isn't on their radio.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
The atoms are so tiny, the space between them dwarfs the mass of the atoms themselves. Even the electrons of the atom are incredibly far /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
away from the nucleus, relative to their mass. Think of it like the solar system, with the sun as the nucleus and the planets as the /2

hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
has nothing to do with opinion. link me to anything legitimate... feel free.
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
Different scales (atomic vs sub-atomic). Plus not all things are entangled. Not even close.
Retromorphic
Hmm can you check that? I have read articles claiming to entangle protons and entire atoms...
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
I see the articles you're referencing. Idk, as a chemist and not a physicist, I'm out of my element here (get it?). I don't understand if...

Let's not kid ourselves here. Big picture, we don't know jack shit, especially about something we've so recently begun to explore.

Okay. So imagine people at a bus stop. People stand FAR apart from each other, making them seem a lot bigger than they need to be.

Imagine using a rope as a shield, by spinning the rope fast enough you create what appears to be a solid circular barrier.

Ryanator50
atoms and their particles are held apart by electromagnetic forcefields.
NoForethought
electrons move so quickly that it makes it act solid, is probably the best way to convey what we see on the large scale.

The repulsive force of the universe is stronger than the attractive force but gravity creates ripples in space that things get caught in.

Somehow this make atoms easier to understandstand for me.
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
I tend to think of atoms as nuclei surrounded by clouds of electrons.
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
Though really it's more like clouds of places where an electronic could be.
DefinitelyNotMadeOfBees
Though really really, it's even more complicated.
DarkUranium
Though really really really, it's all just a computer simulation and someone forgot to initialize some variables.
feckr
TL;DR you're basically nothing
PersonalPlumbus
Matter on a quantum scale doesn't really exist as you would picture it. Particles are basically just disturbances in space
PersonalPlumbus
So saying that they are 99% space is a little misleading
SilverRazer
I can understand the infinitely small, it's the infinite vastness of space that gets me. We are nothing compared to the earth, which is (1)
SilverRazer
Nothing compared to the sun, which is less than nothing compared to the galacy, and it just gets bigger from there. (2)
TinySupreme
Me too. If atoms are 99% empty space then how come we don't have a bunch of holes in us?
bukobg
Atoms are not 99% empty space.
DownvotesAreFun
We do, its just that you dont see them.
Arthinins
Technically you do, they're just really, really small.
Ryanator50
we... do? I'm confused by the question.
FloppyFingers
It is because the atoms are in constant motion, they move so fast the "holes" are effectively covered up. Like a spinning fan vs stationary
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
that's kinda true but a pretty serious misinterpretation.
FloppyFingers
Please elaborate. I'd like to improve my understating of this subject.
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
the space in the atom is between the electron "cloud" and the nucleus. the electron does move around quickly... kinda. it's more like

Paasimus
It's amazing. A star more massive than the sun would collapse upon itself once it dies and form a neutron star smaller than Earth...
Paasimus
..and that neutron star is composed almost entirely of neutrons pressed exactly as densely against eachother.
brujahenforcer
Still smaller than ops mum
maliciousGman
A teaspoon of neutron star matter would weigh more than 10,000 fully laden battleships.
bloodtypeinfinity
What class?
sulfuratus
Smaller than Earth is really an understatement. Earth has a diameter of over 6000 km, while a neutron star is usually 10-20 km in diameter.
Paasimus
It really depends a bit on the mass of the star.
sulfuratus
A star with a higher mass would turn into a black hole, a star with a lower mass would turn into a white dwarf, is that what you mean?
Paasimus
A star the mass of up to 1.4x Suns mass sheds its outer layers and leaves only the glowing degenerated core, now a white dwarf...
