think about this:
what if our universe is marcoscopic to another one, or mircoscopic to another one.

...
then there's big things out there.

i often think maybe we're actually living on electrons of an atom, and the universe is a molecule.

Who cares? The universe is so big to US that the chances of anything other universe having an effect are incredibly minuscule.
It would mean absolutely nothing as of right now.

I would say you've read too many Marvel comics with Hank Pym or the Fantastic Four in with not enough understanding of physics.

Or maybe the universe is sort of like a fractal animation in nature; it constantly expands, creating new mini-universes which also grow according to some mathematical pattern.

We'll probably never know, because these sort of theories are untestable by current science.

I know what the universe is...but I can't explain it in words so just watch the Family Guy episode where Stewie goes back in time to stop Bertrum from killing Leonardo DaVinci.

Well, if you wish to explain strong and weak nuclear force and the nature of the subatomic particle to the writers, be my guest! =P

Otherwise, /thread

...I never said anything about the writers' knowledge of physics, I was referring to the OP.

Similar to bubble theory? It's certainly possible. I'm not going to rule it out. It would make little difference to us, though, as we would be unable to stop any invading organism of that magnitude.

well there cannot be another universe because anything that exists or can exist is in our universe so... ya

As Holmes would put it, I'd rather not clutter my attic space with concepts like that. I'd prefer to philosophise over more entertaining matters until we get Gurren lagann-esque universe-to-universe combat.

or maybe he just finished the first dark tower book?

OT: well, when we get tested in an atom bomb in the bigger universe, all i can say is this....well fuck. Hellboy must have opened the portal to let the Ogdru Jihad out of their prisons to make it be our exact atom in there.

Huh, sorry about that, misread... though the point still stands, I guess, WRT OP instead.

No not really.
When you get into intermediate philosophy, or some branches of physics, the concept of mutiple dimensions and universes (universi?) becomes a rather compelling idea.
It is very narrow-minded to assert that everything that exists, exists now, here, with and around us.

OP: it seems someone just finished watching MIB.
Also, who is this yall? Is it a he or a she, and why are we answering your question for them?
This yall must not be very intelligent...

Mind blowing. when I first heard it years ago. it'd be cool if it was, but other than it being totally awesome that the universe is just a molecule in a giant super model's underwear, it doesn't mean much.

Not any more. Brane cosmology [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brane_cosmology] recognizes our universe as one in multitudes within a larger manifold known as the bulk, though since we are unable to peer outside our own brane, what is outside the bulk is outside the scope of our speculation. Similarly, we cannot speculate much of what happened before the big bang since there's no before the big bang on our own time-axis. Events that caused the big bang (such as an intersection of branes) would have had to happen on a different time-axis perpendicular to the time of our universe, so such events would have occurred nearly instantaneously from our perspective (and our universe is instantaneous to the perspective of that time-axis.

Carl Sagan speculated in Cosmos our universe was a mere particle in a grander scheme and that universes hide in the quanta of our own atoms. I'm not sure how much M-Theory [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_%28M-Theory%29] has changed that as a possibility. We regard strings or branes as atomos (a hypothetically irreducible component), though sooner or later (probably later) we'll have to raise the question, and it remains certainly possible that deep in the fibers of strings are other universes to behold.

Similarly, The Bulk (above) is beyond our reach, so we don't know whether it is infinite or a particle in an even greater system of events. So Segan's speculation (and yours) are still valid possibilities.
