"What if..." we live in the Marble Theory?


What's the Marble Theory you ask? Well the Marble Theory was brought up in the 70's where people thought "What if there's a universe inside a universe". For example, take the children's toy glass marble...what if in a microscopic level that we haven't even imagined to reach there's a universe inside that chunk of glass? Of course the same thing can be said about our very own universe...what if our universe is a part of an even larger universe? This has already been shown in some movies. In Men In Black, Agents J and K had to protect a galaxy that was held on a cat's collar (or "belt" as they called it), and at the end of the movie they showed a larger view scale of the universe, and it actually shows our universe inside a marble (hence the Marble theory).

Another example of the marble theory would be in two stories of Dr. Seuss. There's "The Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Horton Hears a Who". How are they related to the theory? Well where are the Whos located? In "The Grinch Stole Christmas" they were located on a snowflake and in "Horton Hears a Who" they were on a flower.

So simply put, do you find this theory plausible?
