#is it possible that the universe is a seed?

I just had a profound thought. What if the universe was a seed planted 14 billion years ago? And then it "sprouted" (the Big Bang) and is currently growing "underground" (in space), which is why the universe appears dark.

All these things were formed naturally. They are all eerily similar in design and structure. Surely this is no coincidence. I think it's entirely possible the universe is "alive." We're like mitochondria, leeches, parasites, or something...

As for the universe being a seed? I arrived at this stunning idea due to looking at pictures of the universe on the internet. Maybe the big bang is just a little seed growing to become some super-duper-universe-tree thing. Whatcha think?

also,

- is it pointless to ponder such things?

- do you think life could form inside of a star?

- is time real?

Sober up man.

Pretty much this =P

@indzman: oh, I changed it, remembered a better clip

it's indeed possible but you won't be able to make it look like a scientific theory which means your abstract definition of the universe doesn't mean shit.

@Motokid6:

What are those universe bubbles contained in?

A scientist perusing GSOT may be able to create a theory for me and give me half point zero one percent credit. The chances of that happening are the same as that of a universe being created by banging itself into existence.

Any physicists on OT? Physics majors?

TC:

How did you get that pic of "the universe"?

I wasn't aware we had reached a level of technology to be able to snap a pic of the "universe."

@Boddicker: We know what the Milky Way looks like simply by being inside of it. Picture may not be the best diction; map? It's very possible to extrapolate the data from space observation and form "pictures" based off the data.

I don't think so.

With seeds, or life in general, they take in energy from the environment and reconstitute it as part of itself to grow. As far as we know, that isn't happening with the universe. It's expanding, but no energy/matter is being added.

As for the branching structure, I suppose it's simply a very efficient form that naturally develops due to the laws of physics.

Perhaps we haven't been able to detect the energy/matter being put in from the surrounding omniverse. Kind of like how we have not been able to actually detect dark matter. Maybe dark matter/energy is being fed to our universe from the outside causing it to grow.

That, I have no idea.

I suppose it's possible, in the same way that religion is possible.

@Sword-Demon: Thanks for the input. Wish I could like or thumbs up here.

The universe is time, a big massive clock and it's counting down

From now on, when I see peanut butter, I'll think about an iris.

Quantum computers outside computers inside computers

The number of cells in the human body is about the same as the number of atoms in a human cell. So must there be the same amount of galaxies as there are cells in a seed?

This thread is over a year old.

Don't post in old threads people.
