In a few thousand years of recorded history, we went from dwelling in caves and mud huts and tee - pees, not understanding the natural world around us, or the broader universe, to being able to travel through space, using reason to ferret out the hidden secrets of how the world works, from physics to chemistry to biology, we worked out the tools and rules underpinning it all, mathematics, and now we can see objects that are almost impossibly small, the very tiniest building blocks of matter, (or at least we can examine them, even if you can't «see» them because you're using something other than your eyes and photons to view them) to the very farthest objects, the planets circling other, distant stars, that are in their own way, too small to see from here, like the atoms and parts of atoms themselves, detected indirectly, but indisputably THERE.

An answer may come from the attempts the people are making to try to develop a theory of quantum gravity because under one of the models for this called up loop quantum gravity spacetime itself almost consists of, like, you can think of it is like a little a atom of spacetime; and one possibility is that when you start to cram everything very close together when space itself is packed down into a small enough point that it can't keep shrinking it, it can't keep compacting it.

«Typically quantum properties show up on very small scales — an electron or an atom.

Indeed, under these conditions an atom belonging to a given sublattice has only a very small number of neighbors (one or two) in each of the other sublattices, and the molecular field method, which consists in replacing the instantaneous action of an atom by that of an average atom, will be more likely to yield a correct result, the larger the number of atoms to which it is applied.
