Your questions pretty much sum up all my religious and philosphical beliefs, so answering them will be fun for me.
1.) This pheonomena you described is my definition of God. Since things keep increasing in size, the increments go to infinity. If you reached infinity, you would have omniscience. The highest point would be everything and anything at one given instant, but that point is unreachable and exists at the same time. This has many implications, and I'm not entirely sure of them myself, but it is my belief that the highest point is the collective will of all things in the multiverse.
2.) Where the last point was infinity, this point would be the negative infinity on the scale of all things. The lowest denomination would be pure energy, which, as you showed, is mostly empty space. Since we are in fact, made of nothing, reality as we see it can only be explained as a form of consciousness. The only reason we know that we actually exist is because we have our sensory organs telling us that we do, but when they go away (death), what do we have then? We'd still exist, since we were composed of nothing in the first place, but how would our consciousness play? Because of that gap, it's my belief that you either reincarnate, or you simply return to the greater scheme of all things as a formless consciousness, as a different form of energy. Thinking about these things is really a big mind trip, and it could probably drive you insane if you thought about it too much, but I find it a good exercise for enlightenment.
