I find it funny that mankind tries to explain the unexplainable and unconfirmable. Is space expanding? Is a black hole swallowing up our galaxy? With several billion years before any practical answer can affect us we will probably be extinct as a species before that happens.
I like the John theory of the Universe. The universe is a truely colossal card trick played with just one card and a super fast shuffle. The card is the God particle. Taken at rest it has just one dimension. Heck, taken at rest there are no dimensions because the particle is in it's own frame of reference. Try looking at the back of your own head and you'll understand. You just aren't fast enough, but for the god particle time doesn't exist yet, or space. In that Ohm moment, not even potential is defined yet. Its not that things are possible or impossible. There are no things, just the breath before the word is spoken.
So the god particle looks at the back of it's own head and sees itself moving to look at itself, so it looks at this new phenominum and suddenly there are thousands, millions, billions of perspectives. Like the fast fan or shuffle it looks like structure. move a point between two points you get a line. Move a point between three you get a plane, four you get volume. It looks like structure only because the one perspective is quickly infinite.
Ah! but if I stick my finger between the cards the trick stops. How are you going to do that? You are part of the shuffle. Revert back to the single particle and all the different vibrations that make you distinctly you are cancled out. Solve the riddle and cease to exist. Maybe its happened and the shuffle just started up again. Maybe it's impossible because quantum entanglement and inertia prevent it.
Can you perceive that which is neither someting nor nothing? What color is nothing? Not black. that's something. Clear then. That's something as well. Look up at the sky you see the blue beyond. Look into the water, see the fish and the riverbed. You always see through clear to something beyond, never the clear itself.
You will never have the answer to the universe because answers are a construct of the universe. You can discern the structure and the motions that the answer leaves behind. To have the whole answer you would have to be the whole universe. You are a human, play your part and look at the back of your neighbor's head. The answer will reveal itself in time.
