Existence According To Bone - Mind Blown In 3....2....1....

This is our galaxy....




Can you guess what this is?


Its the shadow of an atom....


Now watch what happens when I lay the picture
of the galaxy over the picture of the atom....




The theory I'm about to present to you is one that I have pondered for years, but it never really held any weight with me until I went looking for that second picture last night.

As the image above illustrates, my colleagues and I at Griffith University have been able to photograph the shadow of an atom for the first time – the culmination of five years of work by our team.

The image, and attendant paper, are published today in the journal Nature Communications.

A basic understanding of how atoms work....



A basic understanding of how our galaxy works....



So in a nutshell, my theory goes like this...

We are living on the surface of a particle....
that is orbiting an electron....
that is orbiting the nucleus of an atom...
that resides in the body of a living organism....
that is living on the surface of a particle....
that is orbiting an electron....

Excellent theory.

I have thought this for a long time too.

I have thought about this idea myself quite a bit lately for some reason. Glad to see I'm not the only one who has pondered this.

It's like a giant fractal

While I have no argument for this, I'm curious now....if such a situation were true, what of human-consiousness? Why are we living THIS life, on THIS particle, etc. and so forth??

Any thoughts?

ive thought exactly that for many years......we are part of a bigger organism.

kinda like a flea on a cat....well maybe not exactly but something similar.

S&F

He created man in his image......maybe a literal interpretation? we are part of him he gave us life?

Interspace...it's a movie. It's like 20 years old.

.....and therefore the reason the universe is continually expanding. As.... whatever part of whatever living organism we are / are in, grows to whatever size it eventually reaches as an adult organism, we as a galaxy / universe grow with it....

And when the life expectancy of whatever it is we are is reached, we continue to live as a universe but then in another form, i.e.. that of which whatever it is we are part of, decays to [... dust ? ...]....

It's all too complicated for our mere human / mortal minds !

And since time is ever looping in over itself,all things renew and are one.Everything intersects something else.I still agree with this quote:Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.
~ Chief Seattle, 1854 ~

This could be why we see the "universe" as so infinite, because we are so small compared to the larger scope. Probably the same view an ant or small animal would see of the world around it.

Interesting theory to play with. Living on a particle huh..

I have always held this theory close to heart. In the cosmic sense of things we are microscopic.
The "living par"t is what I don't understand though. Everything seems to be infinite after the "we are living on.."
part.

I wonder how consciousness can be explained using that theory.


It seems starsyren and I were thinking the same thing.

I've thought this is a possibility as well. Isn't that one of the main ideas that the movie "Horton Hears A Who" is based on? This whole microscopic community/world living on the back of an animal.

As have I. Almost like this youtu.be...

Very interesting. It is definitely mind blowing. Thank you for sharing.

I'm sorry.

And, while I can sympathize with your position and analogy, a symbolic representation of a galaxy that we have never left to be able to look back and photograph, overlaying a highly pixelated photo that's supposed to be the backdrop displaying the blocked light of something that the naked eye can't see...Is an extremely poor way to start off your theory's explanation...

the whole this is based on POV.
to me an amoeba is every bit as insignificant as we are in the whole universe.

and if you look at the speed in which electrons orbit the nucleus......our entire galaxies existence takes place in a few moments, from the perspective of the larger thing our "atom" creates ....

not buying this. prove these galactic and atomic representations are accurate
and reflect reality. everything is compromised these days, and all information
is suspect. both cg representations designed to reinforce their idea or tenet
'as above, so below'?

Well, you sure didn't lie. My mind has been blown away. But it's still struggling to hold on and read into this incredible theory. I could use a little more detail on what exactly this means for our existence and the future thereof.

A while ago, I came to the conclusion that all of existence is nothing but a titanic series of cycles, a spiral that corkscrews in a giant circle to feed back into itself infinitely. Your revelation seems to support that idea, but it doesn't lend a whole lot of detail. Could we flesh it out a little? What kind of speculations have been made to color it in? As long as we're having fun with the idea, I mean...

Maybe that's because you didn't bother researching the methods by which this information was obtained before you made this post stating as much. Sometimes, you have to find things for yourself. If you want to disprove this theory, then give us some meat with your broth of "It just seems unlikely, so I'm calling bull."
