What we know about our own universe stretches as far as our telescopes can reach. We don’t know whether it has a border or not. Does the universe go on and on (infinite), or is there an edge that, if crossed, we would be outside our universe? What would we find out there?
There are several theories about this.
1) Other universes, either just like ours or completely different.
3) Be still inside our universe, but on the other side.
4) Something completely unexpected.
5) God.
What can you imagine is out there? Dreamers and Sci-Fi writers can certainly imagine all sorts of things. What if there were everything imaginable and everything that could possibly be? There would certainly be an endless, infinite possibility of realities. This is the “Everything” part of the theory.
If we exist and our universe exists, why would we think that this is all that exists? The big bang theory says that the universe came into being from nothing. This seems to be hard to imagine. After all, we would ask how or what caused it to spontaneously come into existence. If there was absolutely nothing, why would anything ever exist? This is the “Nothing” part of the theory.
Since we and our universe do exist, why would we think that we are all that exists? Theists believe that there is a supreme, supernatural being that created us, and when we die, we will ascend to a higher existence. Atheists believe there is no such creator, and when we die, we cease to exist instead of going to another place, such as Heaven.
The parallel universe theory suggests that everything, no matter how small the change, creates a new parallel universe where the opposite change or choice exists.
Perhaps if there is something more than our universe, I think that it is reasonable to imagine that anything and everything possible does exist somewhere out there or in here.
What do you think?
