The diameter of an atomic nucleus is only 1/10000000 that of the wavelength of visible light. To directly see an atomic nucleus requires light with a wavelength comparable to the size of the atomic nucleus. Our eyes are made of molecules, and so are the basic units of our light sensing machine, the light sensing proteins. When light with a wavelength of the size of an atomic nucleus hit the retina, it is just like a comet penetrating our solar system. So this kind of light cannot be caught by our retina. Thus the image of an atomic nucleus cannot be developed on our retina. If we want to see an atomic nucleus, we have to have an eye with basic light sensing units directly made up of particles as small as an atomic nucleus.
All objects in our dimension look so dense to us. But when visualizing them from standing on an atomic nucleus, they are all penetrable. It is conceivable that objects directly made up of atomic nuclei or even smaller particles can easily penetrate our body, just like sand falling through a screen with big holes. But we have no sense of them; we can not see or detect them. Those objects have their own form of existence. They can form a system, or a “world” independent of ours. They would have their own space-time dimensions. Their physical, chemical and biological principles could be totally different from ours, too. That system, and probably even more other systems, exist and occupy the same space, at the same time, as ours. Scientists had long been studying multi-dimensional space-time. Isn’t it true that different layers of particles of different sizes, including those we have not found yet, can form different space-time systems?
