But...but what's in the empty space?
CarBENbased
Thats not ENTIRELY accurate considering the wave function takes up most of that space until a measurement is made and the function collapses
mobeis
So... Ant man?

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.

This is sort of how we explain death to our kids. We're all made of stardust and someday we all go back to stardust.

So this universe is an atom. With atoms in it. But is an atom that is part of a body of atoms.

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

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.
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.

Sugarcubes here are 1 x 1 cm.

Only if you subscribe to the holographic principle. Otherwise, they are 1 x 1 x 1 cm.

But how do you make a black hole, then?
AmericasRealBaldEagleCaaaw
Did you ask your mom?! She knows!

It wouldn't quite be a black hole, but extremely compacted matter such as that of a white dwarf star. Sauce: Schwarzschild radius.

travisflagg61411
Cant be. The resulting substance would be homogeneous.

That would prohibit stuff like movement. And since things appear to move, probably not the case.
HeinzTomKetchup
Aside from stability problems, a large amount of matter in a small space is highly reactive and dense. But it can't be done as far as we kno

Daddy1C3
I once had a 4 hour conversion with my Electronic Engineering professor about the fact that no two objects ever truly touch.
dazedNconfuzed
I figured that one out in 5th grade. Delighted me for days. Drove other students nuts for days.
4tals
Ahh semantics, the deepest rabbit hole.
MarcUK
Were they saying that as they touched your junk? :D
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.
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
What I've always had trouble wrapping my brain around is how knives cut at an atomic level.
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?
AquaCrusher
Wedging, like chopping wood
AccountA87
Mind blown
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
Obietrice

I just love facts like that, for example a Modern Transitor is around 2nm, That is the size of 37 Hydrogen Atoms in a row.
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)
TheSwedishCryptid
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.
AgamemnonsMemes
Its like a balloon. When its deflated, it takes up basically no space at all. Fill it with air and its HUGE by comparison.

The repulsive force of the universe is stronger than the attractive force but gravity creates ripples in space that things get caught in.
nasukkin
Think of it like an electric egg-beater's arm, spinning really fast. Mostly nothing, but enough moving fast to be super influential!
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.
OutlawAggie
Did you see Ant-man? Same basic concept, they found a way to manipulate the amount of space particles occupy, hence ability to shrink
BananaBrain
everything is just a shape of empty space
djcotton91
Because let's be honest.... It's absolute nonsense
ticktockbent
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?
ticktockbent
are sugar cubes not larger than pencil erasers? The ones I've seen are.

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

We don't need a lot of space for your head. Sorry.
Ryanator50
atoms and their particles are held apart by electromagnetic forcefields.
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
Iricus
What I want to know is what it the empty space? What does it consist of?
feckr
TL;DR you're basically nothing
doofiTV
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.
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
TinySupreme
So in a way... we are made of tiny little fidget spinners?
FloppyFingers
100% I see you are aware of the great fidget prophecy. The signs are all around us.
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...
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...
Paasimus
..and that neutron star is composed almost entirely of neutrons pressed exactly as densely against eachother.
maliciousGman
A teaspoon of neutron star matter would weigh more than 10,000 fully laden battleships.

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.

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

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
