What do you think of the macro-verse and micro-verse theories?

the ideas for the macro-verse are that our universe is just one small part of another universe and so on. the micro-verse idea is that there is always something smaller, the possibility of an entire universe in the smallest thing we know of.

Electrons are not made out of quarks. Electrons are leptons and are fundamental. Quarks compose hadrons.

Maybe they are all true. There are universes smaller and larger than ours all at the same time and we are a part of both.

I think right now I would go with saying that the only way that Universes can exist within ours within the bounds of current physics would be if there exists higher dimensions. Current physics hypothesises these. Hopefully particle physics will give us some answers.

There could also be macro universes in a multiverse of Universes; but personally I don’t see how it’s useful to our current understanding other than trying to validate the Anthropic Principle for us to postulate these. Ultimately we’re also never likely to know for certain whether these alternate universes exist.

I think we have a lot to discover about our own Universe before we need to move into that area.

It’s one of those things that remain to be determined. One of the more interesting theories is that all matter isn’t composed of matter, but is actually created by quantum fluctuations, whatever that means.

Quantum fluctuations arise from the wave-particle duality of matter, and the wave spreads out through all space but the distibution of matter is quantised. We can work out where we’re most likely to find a particle using quantum mechanics and Schrodinger’s Equation. The solutions to this equation are waves (complex waves at that). Using Scanning tunelling electron microscopes (which use the wave-particle duality principle) we can image atomic surfaces and actually see the wavefuntion across the surface.

I just think that’s pretty awesome.

I’m really looking forward to the results of the LHC experiments by CERN.
