If you measure the distance between nucleus and electron, and compare that to the size of our universe, you'd get a very big number that is about how far away the next universe is.
Who knows what the fabric of that place is made of, but there's no telling what state the other universe is in. We wouldn't even know the states of our universe before we saw more than a couple of those other ones.

If you took the entire universe and put it into a tube, you'd get a tube about twice the size of the universe.

I mean, you wouldn't want to put it in a tube.

No, that's wrong. You would get a tube the size of the tube. A tube doesn't get bigger just because you put things into it. At best you get a broken tube, but not a bigger one.

outside the universe is a crazy big 12 dimensional metropolis that will consume us. Our universe is in a tiny little crack that only had 3 dimensions to it, a pocket universe. All it takes it one street sweeper to get us just right and we're gone like dust in the wind, actually we would be dust in this 12 dimensional wind.

T’wun T’wun, nice. :hmmyes:

I guess the question could be resolved to: should a level have a lateral edge? Yes it should.

It occurred to me that in order for water to have surface tension, all water must have some degree of salinity, even at the electrostatic level for completely distilled water. So if you want to make a perfect level for a tool, you could simply completely saturate a metered capsule full of water with salt, so that only one salt particle was out of solution. You put a diode on the two atoms at the quantum median of the glass capsule, and when the salt particle hits the quantum mean it electromagnetically locks the level into position, until you manually break the circuit of the diode.

With a standard level you are just approximating the moment of surface tension, and it’s not a mean so it’s teetered to one side or the other, always butted up on the flexing air bubble but never really at the top. And it’s always moving, there are tidal forces in the oily green fluid that are effected by the moons gravity, so 2 reading taken at different times will produce a different quantum result. Also, it doesn’t have a real lateral edge, so the larger you scale up the less accurate it becomes, just curving to the arc of empty space.

What is outside the universe? Bullshit and bad guesses. :shrug:

the key feature that makes something part of our universe is 1. spatial dimensions and 2. energy.

thermodynamics is an emergent consequence of a universe with energy arrayed in space. and time is an emergent property of a thermodynamic universe. anything you conceive of that’s just mass/energy arrayed along spatial dimensions isn’t really a different universe, just a different branch of whatever reality we’re in.

so, to see outside you’d have to conceive of something basically inconceivable. so don’t bother. smoking salvia won’t even get you there.
