Question: What can be big and small at the same time!?

The word 'big' really in a really small font!.


Size is relative!. You choose!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Most anything can be big and small at the same time!.
I often hear in economics class that the oil business is huge, but it is only a small part of the entire economy of the nation!.

Everything can be broken down into smaller dimensions, making the original object big!. Most objects are rendered as minuscule dots in the universe, making them small!. I suppose that only God (if you believe in Him) couldn't be thought of as small!. Or if you don't believe in Him, the Universe, which would have been rendered small in comparison to God!.
Even an atom has smaller parts, and those have smaller parts!. We are still finding smaller units, so even our smallest units could still be rendered as possibly big!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Barbie!.

i!.e!., a symbol!. Barbie is a symbol of an ideal feminine figure - though of course the "ideals" were at that time invented by people who had no concept of how a lady could be and stay healthy (certainly not by starving herself)!.

Any of many other symbols could also be considered, though I like the Barbie symbol because she's a popular, easily-recognizable and amazingly diverse anthropomorphic symbol!. :-)

<edit: in other words, my answer is "an idea" - Barbie's just an example>Www@QuestionHome@Com

Size is relative!. Everything bigger than a subatomic particle is big, and everything smaller than the universe is small!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

An act of kindness!. There can be other examples!. The key element in this situation is subjectivity that makes something seem so big which in all objectivity is nothing so big at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Children!. I work with 3-5 yr olds and sometimes they really knock me for a loop with how they see or interpret things!. Such small beings they are, but sometimes they really make some "big" (and profound) statements!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A large person that has no morals or values and treats other people in a disrespectful way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
