Scientists find that our cosmos is an atom in a molecule of skin in a much larger universe. Would it bug you?

Question

Of course, we have no idea what the creature is whose skin our world is part of, or what part of that creature our cosmos inhabits.... Seriously, would it affect your worldview in any sort of freaky way to think that we might be sub-sub-subatomic entities to beings in a much larger level of reality?

Answer 1

Modern sci-fi is based on science that is already in the works. Look at how quickly the technology used in "Minority Report" to manipulate those computers has come to be in your hand, in a small but even more powerful version, and without the use of special gloves.



The sci-fi in "The Matrix" is a perennial use of the old theory of "brain in a vat." It can't be proved any more than God can be proved, so we might as well consider it just fiction.



Your idea fits in with "just fiction" since it actually contains no science. It is also the perennial use of a very old concept that just keeps repeating in different variations.

Answer 2

Nope...I examine scifi, too. so which you're no longer blowing my strategies. There are few similarities between an atom and our solar. enable's enumerate what i'm able to remember: The solar is made up generally of helium and hydrogen it particularly is fusing under huge pressures. An atom is produced from protons and neutrons...subatomic debris. The He and H of the solar are held at the same time by the tension of gravity, that's additionally what reasons those gases to fuse. Protons and neutrons are held at the same time by good and susceptible atomic forces. Measuring the solar's region and momentum concurrently is achieveable. Measuring region and momentum of an atom, its aspects, isn't because of the Heisenberg Uncertainty concept. The planets around the solar are defined, discrete bodies. Electrons around an atom are no longer. they are clouds with possibility distributions. The Bohr sort, which treats an atom like a solar with revolving electrons in orbit, has long been discounted. there are probable greater issues that i do no longer remember ideal now. however the nice and comfortable button is that our solar, with its planets, bears little resemblance to atoms with electrons around it. So, because of the fact the solar is in contrast to an atom, it particularly is uncertain something of the universe is nearly a determination of atoms.

I searched through the internet, but could not find reference to that finding. One school prayer in India says "inside whom this cosmos lies invisibly small". That prayer is more than thousand years old and contains wisdom of ancients. Thales (624-546) and many other Greek philosophers wrote that the whole universe of material things is alive.

Here is one similar finding by modern scientists:



The cosmic web and its relation to the human

neurons is astounding. According to the European

Southern Observatory (ESO), "All recent

computer-simulations of the early universe have

one prediction in common: the first large-scale

structures to form in the young universe are

long filaments connected at their ends in

'nodes'. The models typically look like a

three-dimensional spider's web, and resemble the

neural structure of a brain." Now, astronomers

have actually detected a "universal web" - vast

filaments of hot gas tracing the web have been

"seen" in the current universe. Astronomers

using NASA's X-ray satellite observatory,

Chandra, "viewed" the filaments stretching for

millions of light years through space, with one

passing through our own galaxy. Astronomers say

that the filamentary structures are so hot that

it would generally be invisible to optical,

infrared, and radio telescopes. These invisible

filaments are detected only because higher

density ordinary matter tends to accumulate and

condense in them - generating radiation which

can be measured by scientists to confirm their

existence in intergalactic space.



The visible galaxies in the universe are not

isolated and disconnected but are interwoven by

a filamentary web-like structure - which is the

invisible dark matter scaffolding of the

universe. The web-like structure is both a

signature feature of invisible dark matter and

magnetic plasma. The appearance of this web

bears an uncanny resemblance to a cross-section

of the brain.



But it is not only the morphology (i.e.

structural aspects) of the large scale structure

of the universe which is similar to the human

brain but also the physiology (i.e. the

functions). These filaments carry currents of

charged particles (ions) over large distances

that generate magnetic fields - similar to a

nerve fiber. And they form circuits, just like

the neural circuits in the brain.



The high degree of connectivity is what sets the

brain apart from an ordinary computer.

Connectivity is also apparent in the cosmic web.

Galaxies are formed when filaments pinch or

cross each other. A nexus of filaments

(including thousands of tiny filamentary

currents) will provide the connectivity for the

transfer of not only energy but information from

one galactic nucleus to another. This web-like

structure of filaments and vortexes is also

similar to the acupuncture meridian system -

which includes vortexes called "chakras".

According to Dr David Tansely, "The seven major

chakras are formed at points where standing

lines of light (or meridians) cross each other

21 times. The 21 minor chakras are located at

points where the energy strands cross 14 times."

These meridians are supported by probably

thousands of other smaller filamentary currents.

This provides a significant amount of

connectivity in our subtle bodies. Similar

filamentary currents in the large-scale

structure of the universe also provide a high

degree of connectivity in the "cosmic brain".



Cosmic and planetary consciousness can have a

valid scientific basis once we realize that the

filaments and galaxies in space, and the

web-like structure of filaments and vortexes on

Earth, can encode information.

Answer 4

Not really. Scientific findings do not appear on a whim; they are supported by reason and evidence. If your scenario were to come to pass, it would be because we had some strong reason to think it was so.



Science is far and away our best tool for both discovering and understanding the nature of reality, better than religious fairy-tales or philosophical navel-gazing. To deny science and its findings is to deny reality and live in a fantasy world. No matter how strange, bizarre and wondrous reality may turn out to be, it is better to accept (and even rejoice in) it than to deny it.

Answer 6

No different than the true knowledge that my body hosts millions of independent life forms now in the form of viruses, bacteria, and mites (and the mites even have yet smaller mites on them!), to name a few. Every one of them identifies my body, or part of my body, and it's own level of reality. Identifying even more life forms would just be an "add-on".
