Ok maybe just drug-induced pondering. Myself and a couple of friends spent the night on top of a houseboat, trippin on acid, looking at the stars, and talking about this theory. I just searched the web and as I thought, others have too. This link is just to the first article that came up on Yahoo. It is already written so I didn't have to rehash the whole story. We spent several hours contemplating and trying to explain what can be easily described in a few paragraphs. But it was much more fun that way.

holy shit dude!!! thats some crazy stuff, that made me ponder for quite sometime after reading...
i need to go get stoned and think about it somemore.

Aww, I thought this thread was going to be about Jack Handey (http://quotes.prolix.nu/Humor/Jack_Handey/).
Today I accidentally stepped on a snail on the sidewalk in front of our house. And I thought, I too am like that snail. I build a defensive wall around myself, a "shell" if you will. But my shell isn't made out of a hard, protective substance. Mine is made out of tinfoil and paper bags.
If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.
If I ever went to war, instead of throwing a grenade, I'd throw one of those small pumpkins. Then maybe my enemy would pick up the pumpkin and think about the futility of war. And that would give me the time I need to hit him with a real grenade.

lol, that's some funny shit! on the serious subject, fuck, for all we know our entire universe could be one of the atoms that comprises of the computer in front of you. scientists may think that they are intelligent, but we don't really know ANYTHING.

dude i have seriously thought about that before. im not bullshitting u lol i really have thought of this. its weird that so many people have thought about it. i thought of it on a bigger scale though, thinking that our solar syestem was an atom, but its the same idea.

thats some trippy shit i read it and understand it - the scary thing is it makes perfect sense

oh yeah, ive had that theory for a long time. it seems like common sense to me.
this is the meaning of infinity. it goes both ways. each atom is a solar system, which in turn has atoms that are even smaller solar systems... and the other way, each solar system is an atom which makes up some higher universe, which in turn has its own solar systems, which are just atoms to something bigger...
it's mind-boggling. and fun.
and if this is true, wouldn't that make us all gods/goddesses? we're comprised of billions and billions of "stars" and "planets" and living beings that are, although they may not know it, working together to sustain our body. and we control them to an extent.
which gets me thinking even further... maybe heaven, god, etc. refers to the mind of the entity we comprise, while we think of the body itself as the physical world. after all, we always think of heaven as up...
crazy shit.

If thats true though how come our planets arnt arangesd in s and p sub-shells

Yeah, that theory doesn't explain how our solarsystem isn't following the electron shell

I've had similar theories, like this one: What if the entire known universe is just the inside of a quark or an electron or something in a much larger universe, which itself is only a subatomic particle in an even larger universe? And inside each subatomic particle in our universe lies an entire microuniverse with its own microuniverses...

3 days ago me and my friend thought up of the exact same theory. i was watching a show on tv that had to do with the universe and they were explaining the great distances between the nucleus of an atom and the electrons that move around it. then i started to think that matter as we know it, its just the building blocks for a larger universe(we are their atoms) if you were to look at our universe from far enough away, it would just look like a clump of light. well u can put that same theory to use when talking about ur computer screen, looks like a clump of light to me. dosent mean our universe is a computer screen in some other universe tho.
anywho, i was also thinking of the big bang thoery. apparently they think that a ball of matter, smaller than a golf ball, with all the matter in this universe, just blew up one day. well, in a larger universe, that little ball might have been an atom(or quark, ill get to that) of the larger universe. for all we know those "people" in the larger universe might have been splitting "atoms", hence, "the big bang". did u knno electrons arnt the smallest thing in the universe? if u take electrons, protons or nutrons and smash them togther at almost the speed of light, the E,P, or N will split up into 3 parts(for a fraction of a millisecond). these 3 parts are each called "quarks". in a smaller universe, the quark could be the recipe for a universe (ball of matter that explodes, "big bang") u might say that if we blew up a quark that we'd, in turn, destroy ourselves? not entirly tru cause the size of this new created universe would be much smaller than a golf ball in our universe.
this whole larger/smaller universe thing can go on forever both ways and eventually maybe both ends meet up somewhere but who knows...im only guessing and im prolly wrong, but its nice to think about :P
EDIT:ermitonto...i swear to "god" that i didnt read ur post b4 i posted mine...lol...kinda creepy how similar they were

oops...i didnt mean "exact same theory"
Yeah, that theory doesn't explain how our solarsystem isn't following the electron shell
and this is why i dont think it was the same, i agree with A Foo...that the theory dosent explain "how our solarsystem isn't following the electron shell" but its foolish to assume that the laws of our universe are them same as another universe. so it all comes back to one thing...we cant prove anything...we only have educated guesses that might be correct.

http://mathforum.org/alejandre/applet.mandlebrot.html Maybe an atom is just a fractal of a universe, or is analogous to the universe. Check out string theory, it is nuts!!!!

the string theory is way too complex...and i doubt its right...inturesting tho.

ever seen Powers of Ten?

ya man...that same tv show i was talking about earlier...they showed "powers of ten" using rings that were always 1 power of ten bigger than the last(i kno it dosent make sense, but click the link above and read the page). so it went: 1 power of ten, 2 powers of ten, 3 powers of ten, etc... all the way to 42 powers of ten. the they went smaller to -1 power of ten, -2 power of ten...etc. it was really cool! i loved it and im keeping this tape. i loved it so much, i almost cryed...*cough*

also dnt that mean that the first electron in the p-shell of flourine should have like a quark orbiting it

no, take for example a proton. protons are made up of 3 pieces. each of those pieces has one name, the quark. quarks do not orbit anything. they just stick togther in prontons, nutrons, and im pretty sure about electrons too.

watch the movie "akira". it shows exactly what i was trying to say about our universe and the possibilities of more. its kinda hard to understand so if u watch it and dont get what i mean...ill explain it as best i can.
*note* the whole movie leads up to what im talking about, so ull have to watch the whole thing to understand.

has anyone here ever read the golden compass (or other books in that series?)
this stuff is so interesting to me, lol, I was prolly the only kid back in elementary school that ever asked her teacher for astronomy magazines...and the only kid that actually pays attention to the documentaries shown in class, lol.

I saw Akira... And I don't remember anything about fractals? This is the first I've heard of them actually. I went to the site with the fractal image you can zoom in on. I was mindfucked.
Anyway, all I remember about Akira was that it was thinking that it was too gory and recieved too much credit simply because it was a pioneer americanized anime movie. Of course, I saw it a looonnng time ago.

at one point in the movie the doctor said something like "these reading look like the begining of the universe" or something along those lines. then there was a little ball of light that that guy cought in his hands(after the big explosion)...thats the new universe. at the end of the movie (with the credits), thats when it started to "fractize"
