how to build a universe, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to grasp just how tidy how spatially unassuming is a proton. It's just way too small. A proton is an infinitesimal part of an atom which is itself. Of course, an insubstantial thing. Protons are so small that a little dip of ink like the dot on this, I can hold something in the region of 500 billion of them, rather more than the number of seconds contained in half a million years. So protons are exceedingly microscopic to say the very least now. Imagine if you can and of course you can't shrinking one of those protons down to a billionth of its normal size into a space so small it would make a proton look enormous. I'm assuming of course, that you wish to build an inflationary universe. If you'd prefer to instead build a more old fashioned standard big bang universe, you'll need additional materials. In fact, you'll need to gather up everything. There is every blast moat and particle of matter between here and the edge of creation and squeeze it into a spot so infinitesimally compact. It has no dimensions at all. It's known as a singularity. In either case get ready for a really big bang. Naturally, you will wish to retire to a safe place to observe the spectacle. Unfortunately, there is nowhere to retire to because outside the singularity there is no where when the universe begins to expand, it won't be spreading out to fill a larger emptiness. The only space that exists is the space it creates as it goes.
