Needing to type these thoughts out....

Sometimes I sit and think about the universe. It trips me out, and makes me depressed. The universe is so incredibly massive. We are really just a spec of dust in time and in the universe.

Earth. All of earth. All the people that have lived. Wars fought. Friendships, relationships, money, love, conflict..... it all means NOTHING in the scale of the universe. No one outside of earth will even know we existed. It makes me feel stupid for worrying about stuff like tests in school, because i know that we mean nothing at all.

The universe. Where does it end? If it does ever end, something has to be there to stop it. A wall? But there is always something on the other side of the wall.

I have come to realize it is impossible for our tiny human brain to comprehend matters as big as the universe. There are things that are WAY beyond our comprehension.

Then there are thoughts like... what if our universe is a planet, inside of another universe? Ugh...



And as far as the topic of the creation of the universe. Theories mention the big bang, or two parallel universes colliding, but the only thing I can think of is... where did they come from? This is the only reason i believe in a higher being.

What if the Universe is like a cell--a cell of something much larger than we can comprehend--and we're just a functional unit of that cell?

If you want to make it even worse, imagine if our planet structure is like that of an atom, and all of our planets, solar systems, etc are just tiny, tiny, tiny pieces of something else and more significant.

My problem is this:

How could the universe go on forever, it has to end somewhere?

How could the universe end? What would be past it?

Maybe some other type of creature is watching us, studying us and thinking how simple we are.

Actually the universe is like one giant loop, technically never ends but you can arrive at the same place you were IMO.

Does anyone else remember in one of the Douglas Adams books about the machine that shows you how small you are compared to the universe, and it makes you go insane?

I mentioned this earlier in the religions thread.

if the Universe is constantly expanding, as is the general consensus in both mathematical and scientific communities. Shouldn't it have to RESIDE in something, that is ALSO constantly expanding? But that would cause a never ending chain, but where would all these "universes within another expanding universe" reside in?
