We live in the world we know of as the earth. The earth is a part of our solar system which in turn is a part of the milky way galaxy. There are innumerable galaxies in the universe. This is what the average person knows. Or rather what we human begins know of. But what if the galaxies are a part of something even bigger? What if they are just a minuscule of something that forms a part of something else that is even greater and beyond the realms of our current imagination, or rather, scientific capabilities?
We know that we all, or for that matter, everything is composed of smaller components. Matter is composed of maybe molecules, maybe cells depending on what kind of matter it is. Further down are atoms which are further composed of protons, electrons, neutrons and the nucleus. Now just imagine our solar system for instance. If you think of the sun at the centre as the nucleus, and the planets and other bodies going around it as something similar to the electrons, protons etc, then what does that tell us about our solar system? Can our solar system be simply a atom in the larger scheme of things??? Are several such solar systems, a part of something which we call the milky way actually contributing to be a part of something so big that we never even imagined it to exist?? Look around yourself, there are organisms like us and then there are microorganisms too. Now think from the microorganisms' view. What do they think we are? Or rather, do they even think of us like something like we actually are? Or they believe us to be their milky way? Their solar system? Their Universe??? Are natural phenomenons just the bodily activites of something or someone unimaginable to us? As our bodily processes would be to microorganisms residing in our body??
Humans haven't been able to fathom the breadths and depths of that which we call the Universe. Because what we call the Universe may not in fact be what we think it is ! Perhaps, we are also not what we think we are either !
