Dark flow: Proof of another universe?

Image...
FOR most of us the universe is unimaginably vast. But not for cosmologists. They feel decidedly hemmed in. No matter how big they build their telescopes, they can only see so far before hitting a wall. Approximately 45 billion light years away lies the cosmic horizon, the ultimate barrier because light beyond it not has not had time to reach us.

    The universe (and perhaps countless others) are as the molecules and atoms are of earth. Everything works similarily no matter how big or how small you get.

    Sometimes you have to explore and in doing so Expand and burst from one bubble enclosure to escape into a yet bigger enclosure..as in plant Turgidity..
    To comprehend the size of the Universe you will have to look at our 10 percent brain usage against 100 percent possibility...then see that in Universal terms our intelligence is only perhaps 1millionth in use as compared to the universe...
    We have very limited intelligence within this premise...

    The barrier could be protecting our universe from something worse

    This article was really interesting, it got me thinking what's at the end of what we think is "the end"

    Robotic relics of the past reflect about existence during the last moments before reality collapse, changing the fundamental physics and becoming... once again...cosmic singularity...a furnace of energy waiting to oscillate a eternal cycle of universes..We are the manifestation of the universe..our purpose in life is to experience, observe and face conflict of all degrees.
    There is an ultimate collection of indistinguishable consciousness, "IT" (god) will always remain a mystery until your mind is released during total termination of your living flesh.....

    ugh. How do we know that anything exists anymore?

    in 1000 years (if we have not blown each other up(or been made to ) ) we will be saying, wow to think we did not realise there was an infinate amount of universes!

    Try thinking like this : our earth has the smallest particles that we know ( protons and electrons ) , and in the same time earth may be the smallest particle in the universe and so on!
    Universe is the smallest particle in God's creation!

    I wonder if you cross the through the barrier will you come out on the other side like in a video game? ;}

    It's not a solid barrier, people, it's just a perceived barrier.

    Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    This simply means that the limit on how much we can possibly understand as human beings. I bet every day something new comes out from across the horizon as new light arrives in the lens of a telescope pointing upwards.

    The only way to see things further would be to find something that travels faster than light can.

    I think the universe is Flat

    Try thinking of our universe as a multiverse, many millions of parallel universes coexisting in other dimensions of space/time.

    An artists conception of what the multiverse might look like if you could actually look at it from the outside.

    One other way of looking at it is cosmic foam.
