    Bubble Theory
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a theory proposing that the universe exists as a giant bubble, suggesting that it is not infinite but rather contained within a larger reality, akin to a bubble floating in a sink. The theory posits that time in this larger world passes differently compared to our universe, implying that life is a waiting game until this bubble "pops," which would determine the universe's end. A participant in the discussion introduces string theory, specifically the concept of "brane" theories, which align with the idea of our universe being a three-dimensional bubble in a higher-dimensional space. The original poster expresses curiosity about string theory, indicating a desire to explore these advanced concepts further.

someone told me to post this so i could get more of an intelectual veiw on it. i was talking to someone i work with about our veiws on the universe and possible natures of it. i came up with a theory of us living in a giant bubble. the universe is a bubble and and though it seems giant and endless it isnt. now this bubble is actually floating around in the bathtub or sink of some other giant world exactly like our own. for every certain amount of time that passes here, the smallest fraction of that time passes there. so we live life just wating to pop, and that pop will decide the end of the universe. i know its stupid but its just our deep talk stuff...

Well, if our Universe were entirely composed of air and water, this would be tenable. As it is, some string theorists (more specifically, the "brane" theorists) are indeed postulating that our Universe may be a three-dimensional "bubble" in four-dimensional space. Have you looked into string theory at all, spikebrdr?
 
no i havent, what is it?

"In 2013, after a series of hospitalizations due to magnets, New Zealand government officials permanently banned the sale of those made from neodymium-iron-boron (NIB)." https://www.sciencealert.com/new-zealand-teen-loses-part-of-his-bowel-after-swallowing-nearly-200-magnets "A 13-year-old boy in New Zealand has had part of his bowel surgically removed after he ingested nearly 200 high-powered magnets.
