A Far Corner of the Universe
page 7-79 from Everything IS, a visual and philosophical theory of everything
The matter that makes up all of us has been grouping, ungrouping and re-grouping in the same area of this particular universe for billions of years. Every atom in all of our bodies was probably once part of the same star. In fact, every nano-particle in every one of our bodies was compressed together in that great singularity known as the Big Bang, along with every nano-particle in every galaxy in the universe. Whew! When we die, we are still part of the same planet, the same galaxy.
But what happened before the Big Bang? Current scientific theories include 1) bubbles appeared in the void and one of them billowed out into the Big Bang of this universe; and 2) our universe bubbled out from an older universe. Neither of these theories makes any attempt to explain how bubbles appeared in the void (and what exactly is the void?) or from where the older universe came. If there is no smallest piece of matter, no brick at the bottom, no floor to the Grouping Thing, and infinity sits at all ends, then we don’t need to ask the question “what happened before…” as the answer will always be—SOMETHING!
