Ahh, one of my favorite topics: What is *this* all part of?

I'm of the opinion that our universe is not "everything there is, was or ever will be" (Carl Sagan). Imagine our universe as one of many. Not necessarily an infinity. Like bubbles floating in the water of a bath tub, all connected but independent. How do universes come to be? How did our universe come to be? Do black holes suck matter into their great eye and spit singularities out, exploding them into new universes? Compressed matter big-banging new universes into existence with regularity?

Science continually finds or postulates smaller and smaller building blocks of matter. Are we submicroscopic to a larger being, carbon-based or otherwise? Larger not only in size, but intelligence? As we compare our superior brain power to that of a fruit fly, how would our intelligence stack up to a being comparatively more advanced than we? So advanced that we can't even begin to imagine *reality* on the grand scale?

Was there even a beginning to everything? And if so, what was there before that? How can we expect our feeble minds handle the concepts of infinity and nothingness?

"Everything, ever." That's a mouthful.

Just a little something to chew on.
