What if the Universe is Fractal?
Do questions like these have answers?
You know what I was thinking when I started writing this?
“Is it possible to write a functional article using only questions? How will I ever find out unless I try?”
Instead of acting like I have all the answers, why not focus on the unknown for once?
Could the universe be fractal, with no limits in either direction? In other words, what if “human-sized” is not an objective thing at all, but simply our own position on an infinite spectrum?
What if “the universe” is a sub-atomic particle in a much vaster universe, and the sub-atomic particles that make up our bodies contain universes inside of them, and there’s no limit in either direction?
Is it possible that consciousness doesn’t require a physical brain, but merely a complex interaction of information?
What if the universe is indeed “full of life”, but we’re the only life at our level of the fractal and we just don’t realize that the other levels can be alive? Could “aliens” be galactic superclusters, or quantum foam, or the beings that breathe in our universe like one molecule in a trillion-year breath that to them takes one second?
