The Smallest Object in Universe

Hello guys, this time I will explain very small objects. Starting from dust or black spots. Dust or black spots can still be seen by our naked eyes. The limit of our eyes to see the smallest object is measuring 0.1 millimeters or 100 micrometers. Smaller than that it is impossible for the naked eye to see the object. To see smaller objects, we must use a device called a microscope. The microscope is divided into 2, there are optical microscopes and electron microscopes. Optical microscopes still have the smallest size limit of objects measuring 200 nanometers or 0,0002 millimeters. Using an optical microscope, we can see all types of bacteria, from the largest bacteria to the smallest. And also the biggest virus. Smaller viruses cannot be seen by optical microscopes because they are less than 200 nanometers in size. So we use an electron microscope as a solution.

With electron microscopy, we can see all types of viruses to the smallest. Besides viruses, we can see DNA, water molecules, ultraviolet waves, large-sized atoms like carbon. The minimum limit of objects that can be seen using an electron microscope is measuring 50 picometers or 0.05 nanometers. Smaller than that, I still don't know what tools to use. Based on the sources I got, objects smaller than 50 picometers are hydrogen atoms, helium atoms, and atomic arrangements. Maybe you have read in the middle school book that the smallest thing that cannot be divided is an atom. Actually there are still many objects smaller than atoms, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. Is there anything smaller than electrons, protons and neutrons? There is. That is the arrangements called quarck. Quarck consists of 5 types, namely "up quarck", "down quarck", "strange quarck", "charm quarck", "bottom quarck", and "top quarck".

The biggest Quarck is the up quarck which has a 1 attometer size and the smallest is the 

top quarck which has a size of 100 yoctometers. But the top quarck is not the smallest 

thing that humans have found, there is more. Have you watched the marvel ant-man and 

the wasp movie? In this film there is a doctor who makes a tool towards the quantum 

world by shrinking for a long time. I saw in the film that there was a wormhole called 

"quantum void", but based on the source I got, the name was not quantum void, but 

quantum foam. Quantum foam has a size of 9.3 times 10 to the power of -36 meters. 

Very small right? This is the smallest thing that scientists know. As small as quantum 

foam, you might be able to penetrate space and time like in ant-man and the wasp films. 

In the real world, it is impossible to penetrate, because this is very small unless there is 

someone who can make a laboratory like a Pym hang :)
