The Universe is not Uni
 
Why is the suffix uni part of the word we use to describe all that there is out there in the sky? Even before we began to realize that there are 'billions and billions' of galaxies out there of with our solar system is but a speck of one, our Milky Way Galaxy, it was evident even to the ancients that there were lots of stars our even in our local bit of Milky Way swrill. Uni implies an attempt to include all that we now can see or will ever come to see as one singularity. Quite an ambitious notion.

Call it what you wish, if you consider as a possibility that our galaxy is but a molecule, or a cell that goes to make up some vast structure, consider that our structure might be right next to another structure.

Tissue Rejection. If you were to gouge out a hunk of flesh from someone else's arm and try to stuff in a wound on your own arm, the repair job probably won't work. If you were to carve a piece out of your leg and try to use it to repair the hole in your arm, while this probably won't work either, the chances that your body would accept it and heal over might be better. This is because the sameness of your arm to another person's arm on the molecular level, is less than the sameness of your own leg flesh and arm flesh. The quality of armness is less important than the sameness of own body even down from the arm to the leg.

The point being attempted here is that the cells in your body tend to repeat and replicate. Looking closely at your arm you will notice it is covered with a fine almost invisible layer of hair. Each one of those hairs in suck in a little hole in which it has a root of some sort and out of which it exudes and appears to grow. Every hair is a little different and unique, but each is essentially very similar. Any hair on your body is somehow more similar to each other than even to a hair in the exact location on someone else's body.

So if the planet Earth and our galaxy and all the galaxies in our universe make up part of one giant molecule in the eyeball of some very large humming bird that exists in some super huge dimension, within that same eyeball are 'billions and billions' of other highly similar humming bird eye molecules made up of atoms even more similar to us than the eyeball molecules in some other giant hummingbird, let alone the atoms in the worm it ate for breakfast. This is where I get the notion of parallel universes.
