Mind on a Scale...

When you think of something large or something really small, do you think your mind appreciates it quite in that size?

My answer is "No!"...
I believe the mind works on a scale to understand things larger or smaller than itself, or where working on a scale may be beneficial...

What happens when someone says "Think of one person, then muliply that ten thousand times, to get an idea of how much space a rock concert cropwd takes up..."
I think you start with a manageable quantity of the presence of one person, then you change the scale slightly to appreciate the mass of people...
Though space is a concept, there must be limits as to how small we can see and how large we can be conscious of...
I guess the questions you would ask is, to set the limits, would be :-
- "Can you truly imagine the size of the entire Universe?"
- "Can you truly imagine the size of a single quark?"
- "If so (for both these), do you see it that way all the time?"
The last question would reveal whether you would truly ever work on a scale basis, and I think the answer to that last question would be "No!"

What are your thoughts on the subject?
