Is it conceivable that different universes could be a different scale? I'm talking about particles the size of a bread box, or galaxies that can fit in a fish tank. if you could look from one Universe into another and measure, could we find such a thing? is that conceivable? OR could scale vary even within a single Universe?

Interesting theory

all of the above & an unimaginable bunch of more on top. i reckon a universe could be folding back on itself, tapering off into the past, splitting into 3 or 100 & moving from a palpable state into an audible entirely. due to the late hour in mine i can't think of other variations atm.

Maybe don't watch Men in Black while your high?

Well there was that entire galaxy inside a trinket on Orion's belt (collar) in the Men in Black movie. Orion was a domestic cat.

possible, but you have to consider the Plank constant, and the Dunning -Kruger Effect

Uh oh. Shits getting real!

Objects are always the same size.
It's the view of the observer that makes them differ.

Are you saying that the size of an object is always the same, or that all objects are the same size?

Here's one: whatever is "conceived" exists. Boom.

@hankster I meant a little more concrete than that...

Perhaps, also, things exist that cannot be conceived.

@Coffeo now we're getting somewhere! 😉

Perhaps different cosmogical constants apply to different universes, which could affect the scale of particles. Although with nothing within a particular universe to compare to the difference wouldn't be apparent, the fish tanks would be microscopic.
Within the same universe, the bending of spacetime close to a black hole etc would indeed affect scale. Whether the size of an object changed, or if it took a different amount if time for light to travel across that object would depend on the viewpoint of the observer. Though I'm now getting out of my depth!

My instinct here is that since two universes are, quite literally, entirely different universes and exist as completely separate realities, it's impossible - irrelevant, even - to say if scale might vary between them because from within one universe the other doesn't exist. Interesting question, one I'm going to be thinking over.

Another way of looking at that is there are comparisons to be made, just not in dimensions that we can "sense". Maybe the definition of separate universes is that they don't have any dimensions in common. For arguments same let's assume string theory is correct and the universe has 10 ( ? ) dimensions. Perhaps another parallel universe has another set if dimensions but none overlap with our 10.

Ever see the end of MIB?

Yup just marble universes someone is playing with.

@Iam4MY That stuck in your head too? lol

"Orion's Belt".

@hankster I'm aware. It's often a sci fi concept that makes me read articles on the subject though.

Right up there with parallel universes. Or being in a computer simulation. 😉
