Infinity of Physical World

Is there any place where there is no physical world? To understand my question let me tell you what i think the physical world is made up of.It includes everything the five human senses can perceive. It includes vaccum orspace etc also. Physical world in terms of this defintion exists at the smallest sub atomic particle known to humans to the biggest cosmic being or thing.(strictly physical and not virtual or imaginary)

If we consider two directions to view the physical world, One being the bigger and biggest and the other the smaller and the smallest;can there be a stage or point where the physical world stops or comes to end? Or is it Infinity in both directions? One finds smaller and smaller particles or other physical things by whatever name they are called as one goes looking deeper and deeper into the physical structure of a being. If we take humans, we are made up of skin, bones blood etc; the things which are apparent to normal eye and within the immediate grasp of humans. But then if we take blood and what it is made up of..there is no end how far you can go deeper. Blood is made up of x,y,z components. These X,Y.Z components are made of xy,yz,xy componets. And these are made up of further components etc. I believe the list can go to infinity. Similarly, if we examine the bigger bodies..like say human beings are part of Earth's environment. Earth's environment in turn is part of Earth. Earth is part of cosmic bodies....to infinity.

If this is the case what makes humans discriminate between things? To be more specific how can humans discriminate between one thing and another? Or how can human know if x is human and y is tree and x and y are not the same or if x is not part of y? or y is not part of x?
