I can quite easily grasp the idea of something getting infinetly larger. For e.g. expanding a ball, and continually doubling the size of it. Hypothetically speaking, it could go on forever, if you think about it! However, what would happen if you continually shrunk something? Yes, it would get so small that we couldn't see it, but what would happen? How small can atoms get? And the atoms would be shrinking too! I've been struggling with this for years, please help!

Of course you could measure their weight, but what would be the point, all you need is mass for calculations.

mass = metric = logical

mass isn't the same thing as metric, there are american units for mass, you can use (pound) lb as a mass measurement, it would just be retarded, like most of our measuring is.

people in this site have said that you never actually touch anything. its not totaly true to say that because when two masses get close the moulecules/atoms on the perimiter will interact with each other.
the point of interaction is between the electron clouds of the molecules/atoms and when a froce is applied pushing things closer, they do not actually touch but deform. (try to imagine pushing to opposing magnets together)
I think i have that right but im sure someone else my be able to explain it better.
So in essence they do not touch but merely interact with each other.
(the nucleus of atoms (protons and neutrons) very rearly interact except in extreem conditions eg the sun on nuclear fission/fusion bombs.
