Is "human scale" closer to the very small than the very large? I think it is.
OR is that just a function of the limits on perception and measurement placed on us by our scale?
@futurebird We (very approximately) know the limits of the very large, but we're still struggling even to find the limits of the very small. Even just looking at atoms alone (much less subatomic particles and perhaps beyond like strings) starts producing insane numbers.
So I'm going to say we're closer to the large than the small.
And I realize that's really saying something because the large scale is... HUGE.
But there isn't an upper limit on large.
With small you hit the plank and can't do much else.
@futurebird I think there actually are two upper limits. First there's the obvious: what actually physically exists. (Eg all the mass out there in stars, planets, rocks, etc etc.)
The other is the less obvious: it's unlikely things as we know them can exist outside the fabric of spacetime. (As for if anything can exist beyond that, that can't be answered, but if the answer was yes, it wouldn't be part of our universe.)
