I do agree with you in all aspect ,say galarixes revolve around centre of universe -The universe so call it as of today withour limited knowledge may has another universe with centre of gravity with so many galarxies around them -Both centre of gravity of universe again linked or revolve around on same principle of gravity (affinity-love)

I personally believe that it goes infinitely in both directions. For us we are in the middle, while scientist are always finding smaller 'materials' i.e. atoms made up of electrons etc. while those are made up of quarks. I think it could go way smaller, we just do not have the technology/ability to see it. Same in the other direction.

just my 2 cents.

I don't know if you've ever seen this video or not but here goes.

Presenting the largest model of the universe to date (according to this video).

Really fascinating to say the least.

So, go here for a mindblowing video.
Youtube video.

Edit: Just think, you got to look at this model with depth. What I mean is that the universe is just as deep as it is wide.

I do not think our universe is the nucleus but rather an electron in an atom. Our universe is a protected mass that is part of an inanimate object that we can only fathom to exist without movement for years to equal 10 to the power of x. for example; if we move a rock it does not fall apart. If we are just sub atomic particles of that electron then how would we see if what we are a part of moves or even changes.

What are the Protons then? And what would be a 'Perfect' universe? Is there a universe that is similar to an element say Iron. And if that, what would make a Universe perfect like a Noble Gas?

i love this post, i am constantly thinking about stuff like this.

My theory on the universe as a whole is a bit like water draining from a bath, in the sence that it all revolves round the plug whole, or in the universes case some sort of super massive black hole or something thats yet to even be concieved by man.

Most things in the universe seem to be revolving round something, earth revolves round the sun, the sun revolves with out solar system round the galaxy, the whole galaxy is revolving round a super massive black hole and so on... but their has to be a central point holding all these "orbits" in place, much like what i saw in the bath when teh water was draining away .. their were big bubbles revolving round teh plug, revolving round the big bobbles were smaller bubbles and so on and so on , much like how i imagine the universe operates, all revolving round a single point...

this is where it gets relevent, if their is a centre point that everything revolves around, a nuecleus so to speak, and our universe has boundries, it becomes even more plausable that we are indeed just an atom, building part of a much bigger system, with our universe atoms collecting somewhere to make cell, that combine to make some sort of other reality, possibly under some giants fingernail. after all, their has to be something bigger past the universe, its not just a random reality floating in a complete void.

i appoligise for any poor science and spelling, i am but a thinker. point out any bad science and ill know for the next time.

and please dont bring any of this god nonsence to the table.

My thoughts exactly.
We are merely existing at one tier in space/time/matter, somewhere between the infinitely small particles and the infinitely large particles.

Look at nanotechnology for instance... there is Plenty of room down there..
Imagine if we were that small and had perception, i.e. sight, hearing, etc..
We would have no concept or way to perceive the laboratory, room, body, or whatever we were existing in... we would see molecules as large bodies moving in space.

This theory is known as Fractal Cosmology.
