Pardon the abstract example below. It was the best anaolgy I could render at the moment.

Regardless of sentience, a single celled organism will never fathom a human. It's perspective is too small. It would not be able to see the complete human, even with a telescope. A single ridge in your fingerprint would be the equivalent of a mountain to us, the complete finger equal to a planet.

Our perspective too, is limited by our size and location.
Would you agree that a human will never be able to fully fathom life or the universe? If there is a fractal relationship between life and the universe, could there be infinitesimal and infinitely-large humans?
