The Universe- Or is it something else? Um… ok.
Well what do we know about our universe? We know that the universe is the signle largest compartment of what we are contained in. We know that the universe is home to hundreds of thousands of galaxies, millions of stars, and billions of planets. So what don’t we know about the largest object in our world? The answer to these questions and more are just a few that I, Alex Casciani, have formed to come to a possible theory of how the world we know today came to be. Yes- you may think, oh goodie, a little lesson that I learned about in 10th grade. Well, according to my studies, this is just an extension to what you should know, and hopefully, you even find this to be a little entertaining!
Part one of this everlasting journey from start to finish is knowing what our definition of the universe is. Clearly, we can all agree that the universe means one. The everything of the world. But is the universe everything? Do we know, or think we know what the truth is. Or do we suppose that what we see is what we know? It starts with this. Maybe the universe isn’t everything. Maybe our dictionary definition of the universe containing everything known to humans is false in its entity. Maybe, just maybe we are part of a larger universe, or part of a categorized universe. Or maybe, as crazy as it sounds, we are like a jug, and our boundaries are the air. Now don’t get me wrong, the universe is expanding yes. We can prove this with our knowledge of the red shift waves of planets and galaxies. But that brings a very confusing subject. How can such an object expand without boundaries? Simply, that’s IMPOSSIBLE. And yes, that is impossible. That’s why I’m making an guesstimation (guess + estimation) that there is a boundary to the universe, called a fingernail (not formally declared such a definition). Like such the jug and air. The air ultimately acts as a boundary to the jug. Say the jug was like a balloon. We can expand the balloon by adding more air right? Yes. Well now let’s add more content to the universe, and see it expand to. Like the balloon, the universe also may share a common boundary. The balloon’s boundary is not rubber, but the difference and the content between the air inside the balloon and outside. Even if that balloon didn’t have a definite boundary (the rubber), we still can say that the boundary was the transition from outer air to inner air. Same thing with the universe. There maybe something on the outside of the universe called “dead air”. This dead air maybe NOTHING, nothing at all. We can’t determine what this may be, but we know that it’s nothing. Otherwise where would the transition be? And on the other side of the dead air, is the live air. But when we’re talking about air in the universe, we’re not talking about “oxygen”, “carbon dioxide”, “nitrogen”, or other atmospheric gases, we’re talking about clouds of dust, from nebulas. That’s just it though. The boundary is between the live air and the dead air. With this assumption, we also must decide that the universe has no definite shape, and that it can be a circle, a square, a triangle, or a blob. This is so because the live air is always puncturing our boundaries and expanding.
Now as objects expand and develop we see life form. Yes, real life, like humans. But, this newly formed life is basically bacteria. So do you think it’s possible to have an E.T out there? If the settings are right, it is! And such E.T may just be in existence today! Why you may be wondering. Well if you think that billions of planets that have stars the size of our sun are not in the exact distance that we are from our sun, then we must strongly switch fields of study to English. These chances are nearly 100% possible since there are so many (millions) of stars the size of ours. But in the likely hood that there is such instance, how did they come to be? Just like us! We developed from a clash of rocks, that stuck together like dust balls, due to gravity of each little dust particle. Now as the rock got bigger, it attracted smaller pieces, and bigger… even more smaller pieces. You can see where we’re going with this. Well scientists believe that life was not found in the rocks that made our earth, earth. They believe that a comet or asteroid gave us life. The smallest particles or molecules gave the abundance for: carbon, nitrogen, and other gases necessary to even start to form an atmosphere. As the atmosphere began to form, so did small unicellular bacterium. These bacterium were hetrotrophs, and use carbon dioxide. Later, the autotrophs would evolve from the hetrotrophs, and we would begin to see aerobic respiration occur from the autotrophs contribution of oxygen to the atmosphere. Then development of more complex organisms occurred, and the process gets even more complex.
So if you have millions, even billions of planets like earth, get hit by a comet with the same atmosphere elements to nourish life as earth had, then maybe just maybe, bacteria will form on that planet. And maybe life will form that is complex like us homo sapiens. And through evolution, even more life will form. This becomes a never ending chain, until the universe unfolds, and the same expanding objects hit a max out point and begin to retract. Life rewinds, and clocks go backwards. Watching millions and billions of objects fly by you at light speed will become a daily routine, and finally the smallest possible known figure, would be what we once knew as the largest. The universe is wrapped up into its former “Big Bang” partner. And the process as just completed a circle, and no one knows what has happened to the future, the past, or the present. We humans, earth, the sun, the solar system, the Milky Way, the universe are all smaller than the tip of needle. Was this life? Or a dream of a larger factor? Were we just a trial of the future, or were we a product of the past? Is life true, or is this fiction, and we are part of sick cold game. Is this due to a god, or are we are own god. What took us 15 billion years, might have been really only one day in a superior? Is fighting, war, and evil right, or should we love, and be at peace with each other since we will all die soon. Does religion tie in with science, or does science tie in with religion? Is life over soon?
When will we find out, or will we never know about our own selves?

I do not believe in alternate realities. Our universe is the only "real" one because it was created by god for us. However, there are alternate universes. Every time that there is a choice, another universe is created with the choice not taken in our own. As such, there are a near infinite amount of universes. In these other universes, though, the "people" are not real. There are only mimicking the choices not made by us or other objects. We are the only one with a god, that makes us unique. The others may think that they have a god, only because they must pray for the ones not praying here. The do not have full consciousness, only functioning organic compounds. Even with brains. They do not make choices. They do not have free will. They do not have a spirit is the best way to say it.
Comment on others' comments: Considering the fact that the universe is only our "space," then where is the universe located? At the start of a bubble of universes cropping up from all these choices. They do not exist in our "space," and are not part of are universe. We cannot know what the space that they are in looks like, or any of its physical properties, or even if it has an appearance. Our universe is "uni," or "us." We exist in it. The other "people" exist in other universes that exist in a multiverse not bound by our physics.
P.S.: You know, the funny thing is that I am only 13 years old. Although, I am a freshman. Then again, I still haven't been taught any new subjects (only elaborations on stuff that I already knew) since second grade. (I skipped the eighth. I still have a perfect GPA with all honors classes.)
