Identity and Object III

If we enlarge the world by a factor och 1000000000000000 (or 10 to the power of 15) then you can see the smallest objects we know of. In fact you would see nothing other than these small objects (let's call them Q:s). You would see your computer screen as a bunch of organized Q:s, your finger will consist of another bunch of Q:s and so on.

Can you imagine such a view? If you can, then try to answer these questions:

- What does our usual notion of objects mean in such a world?

- When someone dies, what happens to the Q:s that form that person. Do all the Q:s survive? Where do they end up?

There are a lot of interesting questions that pop up in one's mind, and why don't I just leave it there.
