I have thought about something for a while now, and wondered if we would have a different understanding of the universe, and the smallest known particle, if we humans were smaller or larger.
What if we humans was at the size of a pinhead (And maintained the same brain capacity as normal sized humans). How would we understand the universe, and how would we understand the smallest particles?
What if humans was at the size of the Earth (And maintained the same brain capacity as a normal sized human). What would our understanding of the universe, and the smallest particles be?
The precicion of our instruments would differ a lot I assume. Taking that into account, we would probably have two very different "trouth" about the universe and its origin.
This thread is meant as a think tank, or similar. Just for curiosity.
If it doesn't fit into this section of the forum, or doesn't fit into the forum at all, please let me know.
