IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE...

Was looking at the stars and almost full moon while driving home from rehearsal tonight and thought about how the entire universe could likely be a one part of something far larger.

It only makes sense. If you look at the tiniest tiniest object in the universe, which according to quantum mechanics are little vibrating strings of energy, then go up the chain to larger things like (I may not have them in the correct order) atoms, neutrons, protons, cells, and then the things cells create, like the teeny tiny red spider bugs that crawl all over the stone walls flanking my parents driveway, to fleas to ants to spiders to moths to roaches to mice to cats to dogs to sheep to cows to horses to moose to giraffes to elephants to killer whales to blue whales to mountains to the planet to solar systems to galaxies interwoven like DNA strands - the whole thing goes small to big.

So why would we assume the universe itself is the largest in the chain? I know we can't define it or know how large it is or if it just goes on and on and on forever. I know I'm comparing collections of matter with a perception of (seemingly) endless space and that's not a fair comparison. Fair enough.

But I view the universe, both matter and space, to be one process. One living thing. Like the way your body is an entire universe of cells working in unison. In harmony. One purpose. Thus "you" yourself are not one thing at all. A collection of differentiations of one process. Even saying living "thing" is flawed, but I want to get the point across. I feel the universe, and everything of it, (not in it as if placed from an external source) is a verb. Not a noun.

Thus I wonder if the entire universal process may be just one of many processes that are the vibrating strings of the atoms and neutrons and protons of cells of a tiny red spider walking beneath an elephant beneath stars of endless galaxies...  MJW
