As above, so below, and as below, so above.
We generally get how the solar system resembles an atom, and also how the atom resembles a solar system. However, I think we're not quite getting it. There are peeps on this globe, or electron, or whatever you call it. If The Earth is analogous to an electron, then the Macrocosmic universe is far, far larger than we have ever imagined. It could be infinity squared, or cubed, or even hextoplexed. If our solar system represents an atom in this Macrocosmic universe, then the Galaxy could represent a molecule, and a grouping of galaxies would be a small bit of matter. Our entire universe, as it is commonly accepted, could only be a small object in this Macrocosmic Universe. I like to use the analogy that our entire universe might only be a spec of paint on God's coffee cup...
Then, on the flip side, the Microcosmic Universe is right in front of us. The spec of dust between the "v" and "b" keys on this keyboard is made from many thousands of molecules. Each of the molecules contain thousands, if not millions of atoms. Each of those atoms, in the Microcosmic Universe, represent solar systems. There is a chance that some of these Microcosmic Star Systems are inhabited. The potential of Microcosmic life is staggering. Just right here on my desktop there is an incredible number of entire Microcosmic Universes, an incomprehensible number of Microcosmic Universes...
These theories only include tangible matter. When you include matter which is intangible to us, and alternate planes of existence then the potential for life in other places becomes truly infinite, and a certainty. We may not be able to see it, or communicate with it physically, but we can know it is there, and at least, touch it with our minds, and our imagination...
So, the next time you go to vacuum the dust out of your keyboard, think about the potential hardship you might be causing a myriad of Microcosmic Universes. Then also hope God doesn't drop the coffee cup on that one particular spot where our Microcosmic Universe is positioned. It makes me think of how fragile life is, and how something we know nothing about might wipe everything we know from existence...
