      Hi lexie lou adams,

      I guess the smallest thing that would have composed *all* of the stuff we see today in the Universe would have been the singularity that is predicted to have exploded in the Big Bang. After the explosion, this leads to the Universe as we see it today, so going back in time, until everything was contained in a tiny point, this ‘point’ should have contained everything!
