Default Re: OT - bored with gaming ? Get philosophy!

Had a strange thought Last night. You've probably heard of the "many-worlds" hypothesis? That there are many possible universes, and that they all exist simultaneously? Well, what if every fundamental particle in our universe is actually a universe, and also every universe is a fundamental particle in some other universe? It's actually a closed system, except that it is recursive in a seemingly illogical way. A "multiverse" with N universes would have N-1 fundamental particles to use. Or, put the other way, if there are N particles in our universe, then that allows for N+1 universes in the "multiverse." That's a lot of universes!
