What if our universe is the inside of an atom? Could it be possible?

Bloody big atom

Neh, an atom is still too big for it to be an universe within.

 

Only inifinately small can behold infinately big.

In this case our atoms could contain small universes ans small people wondering if their universe is in an atoms...

We should be more careful with our atoms

In theory, yes. If you are saying that our universe is an atom within another universe, then it could be possible. There is no evidence of it, though.

I guess it's sort of theoretically possible given how fractal mechanics is so often found in nature, but there isn't really any evidence to support it, especially considering matter that and energy are quantized.

It's possible that if our universe exists inside another than ours could possible take up the same amount of space in that outer universe in comparison as what an atom would take up in ours, we currently believe that the universe is finite, we know that in order for a vacuum to exist it has to have an outer "case" it's possible the case could be the matter from another universe pushing back on ours from at a greater mass, which makes it far more possible that it could be a much bigger universe, the fact that our universe could be the basic standard size for an average universe, some scientists believe that the big bang could have been born from a black hole, which would mean our universe just entered into the space it occupies now, making it more likely that all standard atoms, planets, stars and galaxies roughly follow the same standard size
