This shows the relative size of a bunch of stuff, from the Universe all the way down to Quantun Foam (yeah, that's right). INSANE.

I love this thing.
At the same time, its depressing. Because its physics and I never went into physics and physics lets you do astrophysics which lets you be the most awesome kind of scientists known to mankind.
Fucking science.

This is how I describe how big a googol and googolplex are, imagine there is a point, at every interval in quantum foam in the entire observable universe, now imagine that the universe isn't expanding, and that each of those points disappears after one planck second and replaced by another point. The sum total of all of these points, since the big bang, up until now is approximately equivalent to one googol. One googolplex is taking a 1, and then assigning zero to each and every single one of these points.

My question is, though, is there nothing in size between 1 yoctometer and 0.0000000001 yoctometers?

It's a good question! the difference in size is comparable to that of... the sun vs an egg.

There has to be something in between, right? But I'm sure it's extremely hard to detect anything at that scale.

Especially since electron microscopes are 15 orders of magnitude larger then a yoctometer.

Is quantum foam like space ice cream?

Lol it definitely should be!
