Something to make the brain think (or ache)
What if the Planets, Galaxies, and in fact the whole Universe as we know it, is only an even smaller particle within an Electron or Proton or Neutron of an Atom of another living being! 
Heaaavvvyyyyy!!!!!
Sorry, but these stupid ideas come up when I can't get outside and image.

True Geoff.
Just as long as it isn't an Atom within something like a dead Mushroom or alien Snail Mucus

Hi Ken, that thought has rattled around the ol brain cell as well on the odd occasion. It makes for entertaining thoughts at 4:00am on a sunday morning.
Cheers

Didn't "Men in Black" somewhat deal with this at the end of the movie?

Okay Ken – I’ll keep you company and come out of the closet too; I haven’t seen Men In Black, I or II. There, I feel better now!

Ken, when I was teenager I had exactly same idea about the universe. But teachers beat it out of my head.

As the salesman said to Homer Simpson when he heard that Homer didn't have all the latest gadgets in his car - "My heart bleeds for you!"
I guess there will be two schools of thought from - "you haven't missed much" to "what a great concept movie!" I enjoyed the first in particular, so I'm in the second school.
Not too many spoilers in this review. Grab the DVD, you will probably enjoy!

Just remember:- " The Galaxy is on Orion's Belt!"

There's a 3rd school of thought out there.
" It's not a movie, it's a documentary. "
We all knew that Sly was an alien.

Ken what you propose is not unreasonable simply beyond our comprehension.
If the Universe is infinite and personally I think it can only be that way it would be difficult to suggest a different system to the one you ponder.
There is a proposition out there re the "fractal Universe"that may well lead us to the conclusions the subject of your muse.
Thanks for sharing you thoughts

the interesting thing is scale.
we have always used ourselves as scale as to what is big and what is small.
we know what is big and small relative to us but where do you go from there?
it also seems a bit odd to me that it doesnt matter how bizarre something sounds in theory, chances are if you go looking for it you'll find it.
think of neutrinos/black holes/dark matter/quarks etc.
at one time black holes were thought not to even exist, now its believed that they exist at the centre of every galaxy, the things that were thought to be the strangest as to mabee not even exist have been the things that are pretty much fundamental in how the universe seems to work
