Could our universe be the building blocks of another universe?

Question

I have been thinking about this a lot. First of all, if you aren't open to suggestions of universes and alternate universes or something because you are a huge religious person (I'm religious too, but that doesn't mean that God didn't make things like this theory I was thinking up).

Anyways, I would like to see what others thought about this theory I was dreaming up the other day. Basically what it is, is that atoms are made up of Neutrons, Protons and Electrons, which we know of. What I was thinking is that there is a particle smaller than an electron, and some even smaller than that. And the next smallest is the equivalent to a small galaxy, and then smaller would be stars, and planets, etc.

With that being said, maybe we are just an atom in another world which is immensely larger than our universe by trillions and trillions upon trillions, etc. times larger. And maybe all the atoms in our universe are small universes to us, but huge to the things in that universe. And the reason we don't see electrons is because the galaxies and such are located in places the electrons avoid, perhaps the galaxies pushing away. The size of a hundred galaxies could take up the space equivalent to 1/10th of the size of an electron. There could be instances when an electron hits hundreds of galaxies and destroys them, but not too often. And when we split atoms, a universe explodes releasing all of their energy, creating the reaction we get. Maybe one day we will all die in a fiery explosion because the people in the universe we create split our atom.

So maybe far far far far away from here, we could find a huge electron floating around, and another direction far far far far away from here we could find huge neutrons and protons. What do you think of it? I know you probably don't think it's true, but it's fun to ponder if it could be true or not. Do you think it COULD be possible, even though it is slightly far-fetched?

Answer 1

I do not believe that can be true. For that to be true, all of the known behaviors we have observed about particles, mass, gravity and so on would have to be changed.



And, it would make no difference at all to us if that was true. If we cannot detect it, measure it, interact with it or have any knowledge about it at all, then it may as well not exist since we will never know of it.



You can imagine any number of "What if our universe was..." scenarios. Some could be plausible, many won't be. The fact is that we only _know_ of our own universe and cannot detect any others.



Various of the equations that people come up with to describe the universe end up with the possibility of parallel universes, or multi-verses, or some other manifestation that exists <>.

Answer 2

Everything is possible, the way you put it. But yes, anything is possible. I've always wondered; the universe is in a space, and by space I mean dark, nothingness. Now if we remove the universe from there, I mean nothing left back, what would it be? Just dark space yes, but, but, but, where is this dark space? We have dark spaces everywhere, in the closet, under the bed, yes but dark space of this proportion? Where do you think it could be? In the backyard of some other bigger.....bigger something? I don't know. Even though quantum physics explains that matter can pop in and out of existence just like that, I don't give a tiny rat's ***! Where the hell is this space? That's what I want to know. How does this space come into being? Maybe I'm being stupid or something, but this has been troubling me for a long time. :)

I bear in mind reading a sci-fi tale as quickly as, that became into consistent with only that concept. rather, a mad professor guy invents a shrinking potion and injects it into his lab-worker. at the same time as he's shrinking he's placed onto a block of metallic (via fact there are greater atoms in a block of metallic and that they are heavily spaced) and the professor then sits lower back and waits. the guy this is shrinking has a radio transmitter or some form of comms. device that still (magically) shrinks with him. After quite a few hours he's reduced in size sufficiently that he's a similar length via fact the atoms interior the metallic block. As he keeps to chop back he realises that the guy atoms are beginning off to handle particular 'area-like' residences, i.e. they each and every look to contain miriads of galaxies and stars. Shrinking greater he realises that the celebs are actual and he can graceful them around along with his palms. at last he could make out planets and instruments foot on certainly one of them, nevertheless shrinking each and every of the time. Hours bypass and he famous tiny beings crowding around him; he by some ability communicates with them and that they watch him as he shrinks nevertheless greater. This technique keeps and he visits many diverse universes as he shrinks. at last in one universe, he spies a planet that sounds like Earth and heads for it, the place he famous a professor peering right into a microscope at a block of metallic and listening to a radio device, i.e. the guy had reduced in size and are available lower back in an entire circle to the region he had began! ok my synopsis sucks, however the story became into particularly gripping on the time I study it. It became into approximately 30 years in the past recommendations ! once you have an interest i can attempt and discover the call and author if i've got nevertheless have been given the e book.

Answer 4

Of course it's possible, it just can't be demonstrated or proven. Still I doubt that the way you describe it is the case.
