Can something exist in this world if it doesn't have a volume?

In the Standard Model, every particle is 0-dimensional. But particles do have "volume" associated with the extent of their wavefunctions.

So I guess the answer would be: yes and no.

What about thoughts?

Or songs? Although sometimes their volume goes up to 11.

Interesting question, but perhaps it belongs in the science section of the forums.😏
