The Macro-Boundary vs The Micro-Boundary





    The Universe is a fascinating place. At its breadth, it encompasses an area of around 93 billion light-years in diameter. It contains all we know that exists, and then much more that we don't know. 

There are anywhere between 500 billion to over a trilllion or so galaxies in the observable universe, with each one averaging hundreds of billions of stars, some even exceeding 1 trillion stars

It's big. Unfathomably big. But there are limits and there are boundaries. 

There are two main boundaries in the universe that beyond which remains a great mystery to us.

The first one is the Micro-boundary. The smallness boundary. The quantum realm of the smallest measurements and smallest "things" we know.

 The second boundary is the Macro-boundary. The boundary at the large end of things. This boundary lies past the furthest we can see with our most powerful telescopes. Past the Cosmic Microwave background radiation. This is the boundary of the known "macro" universe, past which we cannot see.

For me, both boundaries are not final. They are not the end. It is unprovable to humans, but its a matter of faith with me, but I believe there very much is something there past these boundaries, both the small and the large. For me, past both boundaries is a broader infinity. An infinite "somethingness" that is very difficult to describe. 

Past the macro boundary is endless other universes and endless other realities. Past the micro boundary is the foundational infinity from which our universe is projected into existence. It is a fractal system, meaning it can go down in scale forever. 

Past this boundary is also countless realms, structures, and forms, but at the microcosm instead of the macrocosm.

A good way to illustrate this is by imagining the universe as a skyscraper. The micro boundary would be the point where the building's foundation goes no further into the ground. The macro boundary would be the tip-top of the building in the sky. Past both points is a broader "something." Past the top of the skyscraper would be endless space above it. Past its foundation would be more and more dirt below it.

That's how I see the universe. A bounded finite universe within a broader infinite existence. Bounded at the smallness by that microboundary and the largeness by the macro boundary. 

To me, the whole system of existence has to be infinite, otherwise it wouldn't exist at all.
