We all know that everything that is matter takes space of something. My house takes space of the city, which takes space of the state, which takes space of the country, which take space of earth, solar system, galaxy, universe, and etc. Is it possible that our uncomprehenbile vast universe is no more significant than something the size of an atom??

Of course it is. But if you can't test a theory empirically, then that theory is in the realm of fantasy (or religion). No one will ever be able to test what you're saying, so anything is possible - our universe might be the zit on the asss of a megadonkey. Make whatever you want up.

We haven't a clue as to what is, how much, how big or how vast!
Our arrogance requires that we be the ALL, the only, the most.
But, we cannot travel any part of what is. We cannot see any meaningful depth of what is that would support some sort of measurement.
We do not even have a clue as to why humans are really here!
For what purpose? What purpose for any of this? Why the universes, for what? Why come here, be here a while, then leave this place? For what reason? Nothing that we do support anything that is? So, why all of this? To whom or what does it matter that the universes exists, that on some what ever, there exist what we call humans?

Ahhhhh...existential crisis! Are you by any chance stoned right now?
The universe cannot ever be small and insignificant because the whole point of the word universe is to desrcibe everything anywhere in existance. The universe cannot be smaller than anything when it is the collection of everything. Get it?

The universe is slowly expanding due to the big bang. It will continue to expand to infinity. Scientists say that it will continue expanding until it can no longer support its gravity that would lead to another explosion. Much like a balloon. Try to stretch it and observe what happens.

Recently, the Hubble telescope took a photo of a section of sky that was considered empty. It took a photo of a portion of the sky that was the size of a tennis ball held 100 meters away. Do you know what it found?
3000+ galaxies.

It's possible, but we have no way to know for certain. The only think I can say with any certainty is that this is a very important universe for ME ;-)

Yes, this is possible. The universe is always expanding which is even weirder. Don't think too hard about these things!!! I can't.

The universe is a self repeating, it only changes its pattern to keep us guessing, it grows only by our own imagination, the self expanding virtual reality hologram.

awesome question, and yes, it is possible. but we would have no way of knowing, since the universe is expanding at the speed of light.

I too have wondered about that same possibility and I think it is absolutely possible.
