If we are on the planet Earth that is orbiting around the sun, and the sun is orbiting around a black hole in the center of the galaxy, and the galaxies are part of the universe, and there are millions of universes, so we can call them gigaverses, then what are those gigaverses orbiting around or, what is making them go in a cycle?What is bigger than gigaverses?!

Earth orbits the sun. The sun is not the center of the galaxy however. It is one star among millions within the Milky Way galaxy, and is located in one of the arms extending out from the center of the galaxy. The Milky Way galaxy is one of millions of other galaxies within the universe. As far as we know, there is only one universe, and it contains all of the galaxies, solar systems, stars, planets, etc.... There could be other universes I suppose, but at this point that is just the stuff of science fiction.

Nah, Jeff is somewhat correct. the sun does orbit the center of the galaxy, along with the other 100 billion stars - takes 200 million years to do one orbit, I believe.
But Multi-universes is pure metaphysics. That is guesswork, no basis in observational or theoretical science at all.

The latest theory I'm aware of is Brane theory, which says, that there are 10 to the 500th universes in existence. A number so big that it roughly equals the number of atoms in our "known" universe. Brane theory also says that these universes exist on membranes (hence the name) separated by 1/8 th of an inch and that they exist in at least 11 dimensions. Which makes our universe and gigaverses pretty insignificant. Good luck trying to wrap your head around that. Don't we wish we knew?

The sun doesn't orbit around a black hole. The sun is in the middle, and our galaxy oribits around it. There is only one universe, with millions of galaxies in it.

Watch a movie called Pi. The movie title is the symbol of Pi. You will be very entertained if you are asking this question.
It will not answer your question though..and no one else can.
The entire world as you know it is going in a circular motion..even your atoms. Maybe its all connected.

Hey bad question.
You have some misconceptions in it, so I suggest you do some searching through Space.com and NASA. There is another site called Enchanted learning full in interesting discoveries.
The answer to this question deals in metaphysical rather than physical reality. God, time, and perhaps gravity could exist outside of this reality.
;-D But if you want to go outside of this reality, put the question into philosophy or psychology. Astronomy deals with this reality.
