What if we're wrong

Like way off the mark. What if our physical world isn't the way the Universe works? What if we are a miniscule part of larger part, and they all have it together, and they are waiting on us to get it together? Then again, maybe we're it.

Get ready to feel small, or large. A universe outside of us, and a universe within us.

Another good question is where am I? If my arm was cut off, I'd say "there's my arm, but I'm over here." Where exactly is the "I" that is me?
I usually think of myself as being behind my eyes, even if my eyes are closed, but what if my eyes were on my kneecaps? Would "I" be behind my kneecaps?
I've often wondered where a blind person senses themselves to be at within their body, and if it's different than someone with sight. The eyes take in so much information compared to the other senses they sometimes overwhelm them.
I mean, your hearing is never as acute as when your eyes are closed, your smell as sharp, or your skin as sensitive. But if all your senses were dampened, where would you feel like you were at then?
Or someone who is blind and paralyzed from the neck down? Where do they feel like their "I" is? If you had no senses whatsoever, or if they were all muted, where would you be? Would the inability to take in any external information change what you think of "I" as?

There is a place where no physical law exist.

A place where no physical matter exist and where there is no time for lack of want, need or measure of time. It's called eternity. There is no before or after in eternity. Any who is there was there, by our perspective, forever for there is no past and no future, just a 'now.'
It's inconceivable, but it is. That's the big confounding concept. We don't understand how yet we know it is. We should not be sensual; thinking that only what we perceive with our eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingers and mind can be.

So, one tiny atom in my fingernail could be another universe?

Yes, but it would be a really, really tiny universe I think. Maybe more like a Solar System or galaxy in our pinky.
The scale of one atom in our body to our entire body is miniscule compared to the scale of our body to the observed universe.
atom <<<<<< body <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< universe
* graph not to scale  ">">">
