When several ice crystals stick together, they form a snowflake. As snowflakes tumble through the air, swirling and spiraling, they each take a different path to the ground. Each snowflake falls and floats through clouds with different temperatures and moisture levels, which shapes each snowflake in a unique way.

The very universe is as small as a photon and even smaller. That does not mean the units of information can not be defined separately with their own individual behavior.

But who cares, really? Identifying every subatomic particle in an atom would be like identifying and cataloging every single bit of minuscule rock, ice and dust in our solar system.
Now who wants to do that?
They want to do that because it brings amazing inventions and understanding.

A lepton has to be made of something. A photon must have its own universe of parts. There can never actually be an end to the diminishing cycles of information.
Referring to Powers of Ten as an inspiration, he added that “doing it in a printed book slows things down, in a good way.”
Packed with bleeding-edge facts, vivid prose and gorgeous illustrations, the book [The Zoomable Universe: An Epic Tour Through Cosmic Scale, From Almost Everything to Nearly Nothing] takes readers from a wide-angle view of the observable universe at 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 meters across to a subatomic picture of space in 0.00000000000000000000000000000000001-meter increments. Along the way, we see some scales filled with stuff, others that appear empty, and still others where the universe looks strikingly similar across huge differences in scale. “Little bits of it look like the big bits,” Miller said.
