Re: If the Universe is everything
I think someday we will work out how many senses we really having missing.
The fact that we have made time a reality for ourselves, and the probability that time doesnt really exist, is tied up with our misunderstanding of the Universe. Time is basically the measurement of movement between objects, and we've got it wrong. Still in the Stone Age as to our understanding of the big picture.

Re: If the Universe is everything
The biggest question that occurs to me after reading this thread is:
What is the probability of there existing a planet somewhere in which the inhabitants all know how to use an apostrophe correctly? Technically, in an infinite universe, that planet must exist somewhere.

Loved the Boston Legal episode when Alan Shore and Denny Crane are fishing and Alan mentions some salmon parasites called Cling-ons. "Did you say Klingons?" replies Denny (Shatner).

Re: If the Universe is everything
Are there really stars?
Or are they just pin holes in the curtain of night?

Re: If the Universe is everything
At times string theory sounds like clutching at straws theory
Every time they hit a problem they invent another dimension to cope with it. Last time I looked they were up to 11 dimension with M-theory.

Re: If the Universe is everything
I'm afraid I have no idea as to the answer to your question.
