The Matryoshka Doll Universe: A Discussion of a Universe with Infinite Scale

   

 Some of you may be familiar with the Russian Matryoshka dolls. Those dolls inside of dolls inside of dolls inside of dolls and so on. I had a mental image of a universe with a similar principle wired in its nature. Like the Matryoshka dolls, this universe could be broken down in scale and proportion to an unlimited, infinite depth. When I was growing up, playing my Star Wars fantasy with the trees being galaxies and vehicles and toys were spaceships, I was fascinated by the scale of how small people would be on random objects if I could get an accurate proportion compared to actual galaxies. I realized you could fit an almost countlessly large number of people in one of my pretend toy spaceships, and an even larger countlessly large number of people in the tree-galaxy. Playing these games gave me the idea of a universe with true scale infinity.

          Scale infinity is defined as the breaking down of existence into the infinitely small and the building up of existence into the infinitely large, where scale was measured based on your location and size within the levels of the scale. As you broke down smallness forever and built up to largeness forever, different levels of this universe were proportional to higher and lower levels based on how far down or up you went. For example, If your body was the size of a pinpoint, then a meter to you would be proportional to a kilometer or more to the normal size of a human body. If a tree were proportional to the scope of a galaxy and your body was within that scale, then the universe familiar to you and me would be even more unfathomably large to someone on the scale of a tree being the size of a galaxy.

       I used to picture civilizations and quadrillions or quintillions of people living on a different scale in proportion to our own in random objects like laptops or toy ships or cars and bikes. Honestly, on the "trees are the size of galaxies" scale, you could have a quadrillion people fit into an object the size of a dime. This scaling down would make earth the size of a universe in itself. Now, imagine going even deeper than that, and imagine those teeny tiny people imagining the same thing on their level, and their teeny tiny worlds became the size of a universe in itself, and then imagine the people in their imaginary scaled down universe doing the exact same thing, and so on and so on. The parallel to the Matryoshka dolls becomes quite fitting for this concept. Never ending, unceasing scale infinity broken down into the infinitely small and building up into the infinitely large. For me, this conceptualization of an alternative universe with this kind of scale infinity is immensely exciting and comforting. If this were to be real, I would never feel alone, never feel bored, and have plenty of people to interact with. I think the term "plenty" is quite an understatement in a reality like this.

         

 A fractal is a good mathematical example of this concept. Especially the example given by the Mandelbrot Fractal. I have included a video link below of a video demonstration of the Mandelbrot Fractal. Watching this fractal take form and the breaking down of it into immense smallness and scale is an amazing thing to see. Now just imagine at each scale having trillions of conscious beings, trillions of people on each level, an those trillions of people being able to break down reality into their own infinite scale, and then countless even smaller people manifesting on those scales. It would be a much less lonely existence for me if a universe of scale infinity truly existed. Who knows, maybe it does exist. Maybe a universe of scale infinity has manifested itself somewhere in existence. It would be a beautiful, wonderful thing indeed.
