Can you magnify something to infinite?

The farther you go is there any point where there's no way to magnify anymore?

Wouldn't that be finite?

Probably up until the point where single photons are too large to make up any real "image".

After that, itd probably only be possible if you could make an image out of measuring the forces between two subatomic particles or whatever.


There are photographs using magnetic force or something like that to make images but idk how that works.

This is the first image of a hydrogen atoms orbiting electrons:

What if you magnify something so much that you actually travel through it and pop out on the other side of the universe?

um a hydrogen atom only has 1 electron. this is like the first thing you learn about the periodic table.

Here you go, baw. As previously stated, the Planck length is the limit.

Zoom-able scale of the universe

This is the theoretical limit of anything. After this point subatomic particles lose locality.

For anything it's 1/2 the size of the wavelength of the light you're looking with, so if you were looking with monochromatic violet light at 380 nm, the smallest object you could see would be 190 nm. To "see" things smaller than that you have to use EM radiation outside the small detectable limits of our eyes and have a computer interpret it for us to see anything.

At some point you would see inside the nucleus of an individual atom, at which time you would only see an occasional electron fly past. It would appear as though you were in space.
