What if our universe was actually a tiny cell in another beings body, and wars being fought here were a way it fights off infection....could you imagine how large the being must be and what kind of place does it live

Something like this gets asked once a day or so. It belongs in the Philosophy section.

In general, cells do not fight infection. The body fights an infection by sending specialized cells to fight off the infection or by raising the temperature to kill off the invader. The cell itself has very little defense from inside.
A war inside the cell would have little effect on the outside, unless there is something of the war effort that actually leaves the source (Earth, for example), travels through the universe and somehow leaves the universe to fight off the infection (or finds the invider inside the DNA strand of the cell). It is difficult to imagine an effect of our puny wars to would "reach out" so far from here.
Latest observations by WMAP appear to indicate that our universe is infinite. If it does represent one cell in a body that contains trillion of cells, then the body has a volume of trillion infinities. Strangely enough, this is the same volume as one cell.
What kind of being has each cell measure the same size as the entire being? The only solution: it is a giant (infinite) amoeba (a one-cell creature: therefore, each cell measures the same as the being).

Hi Pickles,
The premise of "Men in Black" was that our solar system was an atom in a larger universe. I think your theory is amusing.
While I'm here, you answered a question in genealogy with good data but the wrong spelling, and your e-mail is turned off.
The Mormons are the Latter Day Saints, not "ladder". Their reading rooms are called Family History Centers.

i like it.
personally i think the universe is contained in a fishbowl-type apparatus and we are constantly being stared at by some big... REALLY big people who keep us all as pets.
i mean think about it-- we keep fish as pets. do you realize how many microorganisms and other life forms are living in that fish tank? millions. i know that they do not all have complex brains and emotions like we do (well alright i don't KNOW this but it is assumed) but still... if we can keep a billion tiny creatures in a fishbowl, and those creatures never suspect a thing, it's not impossible that the same exact thing (more or less) is happening to us.

Wars on the Earth. What about all the other planets and stars and so on. But yeah, with the universe, anything is possible.

The queston what kind of place is it like for the being is like saying "what is an atom's neighbourhood like?" - totally impossible to think about relative to our makeup. A whole new world.
Awesome imagination!

A physical theory makes some sort of testable prediction. Your theory does not, so it is not scientific. Off to Philosophy with you, as was previously pointed out.

Yes, I did see National Lampoon's Animal House.

maybe
and our cell is actually a tumor that is rapidly growing
and the bodies defense is to send black holes to prevent the tumor from growing too large
maybe
just maybe
i respect people with radical ideas and thoughts
i don't really like skeptics cause they never provide answers
only denials
