Random Universe

Have you guys ever think to it that our universe is one of billions of random universes? Like for example, maybe our universe is a marble. The marble is in a jar with millions of other marbles, which is like our marble, universes. Have you even think that, maybe the trillions of sands on the beaches are universes of different dimensions? Every dot of sand is another universe, with, their own laws and things like that? I know it sounds crazy, but i was just wondering so ferociously... Very mysterious....

I came to site to ask the exact same question. But it's not really surprising that its here already.
Mine was specifically,,,,, the origin of this big bang. So, the great mines did the math in reverse to bring it down to a massless point? That exploded? I simply want opinions.
(I have no kinds of superstitions in my head) But I think the whole sands on the beach thing is not without sanity. Who's is to say there are not a trillion universes on Earth in the sand? Or that we say that there are trillions in our fingernail?

In the words of Bill Mahre, WE JUST DON'T KNOW!

However I highly dought the Religious mumbo-Jumbo.

Any thoughts.

Yes, who know? Maybe each and every object on Earth is a universe in another dimension..........

And what if, every object in another universe is another universe? And that the universe Earth is in is one of them?

I can easilly imagine an endless vacuum of space and dark matter between universes. These universes, all expanding, yet trillion opon trillion opon trillion X10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0,000,000, light year apart from one another, just an endess endless number of events happening.

SOMETHING has to be on the other side of the boundies of our universe!

We have seen the edge of the universe as we know it. What is beyond THAT? Even nothingness has to be something. A blank space is still,,,, space. Can it possibly end? Even nothing is something? Ouch, my brain hurts...... What is infinity????
Answer that, you will become KING of the universe. I promise.

"SOMETHING HAS TO OUTSIDE OF THE BOUNDRIES OF THE UNIVERSE." Well put Andrew.

If that is not the biggest question we have, I don't know what is.

Something else I have to throw in. Religious folks will have a simple answer. "It's God." Thats a cop out. I desire a scientific explaination. Which may never come,,,,, however, I hope death treats us kindly and we will see the answer upon death. Our response might be,,,, "It was so simple all along." Either that, or we will simply rot and become smelly.

I love this subject!!!!! Let's keep it going ladies and gentleman. Jim

Personally, I don't think our body could withstand such a speed and not be vaporized or something, but just to say we could survive in some sort of a space craft, what would it look like?

Also, I watched something on TV a while back, that apparently, some scientist thing there are "things" that CAN move faster than the speed of light.

I can't remember what it was, but it was something on the quantum level I'm sure.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?
As far as I know, our best shot at surpassing the speed of light is, ANTI-MATTER. Please don't ask me to explain it, but many people are studying this. It's human nature to explore. Unfortunately, the playground is too vast for our small minds. Not to be insulting, but what the hell....... Most of the people on this small planet think there a guy who lives in the clouds. Gimme a break.

Something else to consider:

I saw on a documentary once that we are actually bound by the mighty speed limit of light itself as to what we can see in our own universe. The physicist on the program explained it better than I can, in fact, I just tried to and got "tounge tied" so I had to delete it all.

But it has something to do with light rays that are so far away that the inhabitants of Earth will never see them.

"Have you guys ever think to it that our universe is one of billions of random universes?"

There is no "outside" for our universe, due to space-time.
So we can only know of the universe we live in.
All the rest is useless speculation.

Speculation yes, useless no. Humankinds curisosity of what lay out of our reach is what has driven most of the technologies we have today.

Will we ever see beyond our own universe? Nobody knows, but one thing is for sure, we will develop some cool stuff trying.

Andrewc : there is nothing wrong with speculation, unless that speculation is useless.
Speculation was at the basis of many scientific discoveries.

But we will never see beyond our own universe, as space-time limits us to this universe.
That is why I stated "All the rest is useless speculation".

Comments on this post
andrewc24301 agrees: I understand what your saying, and your right, I can't imagine how knowing what lies beyond our universe will benefit us, but it's still fun to contenplate.

I know, geez, no offense, but give me a break. A long time ago we though god was in the clouds. Then, we found out he wasn't. Then, we though he was on the moon. He wasn't. We though he might be in space, we found no trace of him. Now what?
