It’s all relative. To the bacteria that call your digestive system home. To the viruses that come in contact with you. To the molecules that make these creatures up. And the atoms and subatomic particles that are the building blocks of matter.

You are their universe.

We are their universe, but we have a known (to us) boundary or size. What if the universe really is infinite? What if it doesn’t just go on forever, but actually has no boundary? Just actually infinite

I mean the same can be said in reverse. It’s entirely possible that you can infinitely zoom in on the world just like how one could infinitely zoom out.
