My dad once told me about a science fiction story he read once. It was 
about a man who discovered a way to shrink himself. The man kept 
shrinking, past the molecular, atomic and even subatomic level. He then 
noticed that his surroundings looked like galaxies, star systems and 
then matter as we see it now. He kept shrinking, and the pattern 
repeated itself...
