You ever heard the story about some guy called Isaac Newton?
Yup, and he used twenty years of his life to formulate his famous laws. And he did not do this simply by watching a tree, or having an apple hit his head

Sure it is just a story. But i believe the morale of this story is, that one must understand how the smallest things work, before the big mysteries can be answered.
If i were to imagine the universe i wouldnt think of it like a 3 dimensional room, were you could go in one direction until you reached "the end", a wall or whatever. I would rather imagine it as donut- or wave-like, the same way superstrings are supposed to look, ultimately being the same thing - a simple wave of energy.
So my speculation/theory is that if one were to infinitely magnify an atom, he would end up looking at the same thing the universe/multiverse is made of.
Anyway, im far from an expert about this matter, but i didnt pull this entire thing out of my *** either. Its my personal conclusion after watching a few scientific lectures, which i highly reccomend to anyone interested in this subject: (i hope this isnt seen as advertisement, as its not meant to be)

Even a Fractal has a starting POINT.
Someone tried to explain this to me.
So they say Albert Hoffman discovered LSD-25, he did not create it.
Because one cannot simply join ANY atoms together, ATOMS tend to keep to themselves,
only certain molecules can form,
like there is already a list of the molecules that can be.
It was something along those lines.
A classic, as above as bellow.

I think "the universe" is generally regarded as the totality of what is within the observable universe, which is something like 90 billion light years diameter. This would include all the matter, time, energy, dark matter, dark energy etc.
The multiverse is a theoretical concept that allows us to think of ideas beyond this "boundary", and there are several vastly different ideas of what a multiverse could be.
I read The Goldilocks Enigma by Paul Davies and he explores these different ideas towards the end of the book. It's a fascinating read.
