What Universe?

It is incredible how some theories grip the imagination and take on the substance of being factual truths. Without delving into evolution just now, we have some amazing hypothetical pictures being drawn about the Universe that are almost being taken on board as fact and indeed in a frightfully hurried way these new 'facts' are being accepted practically overnight.

The reasons for this malaise is because we cannot get to grips with the data being fed through to us by our computers concerning the great cosmos surrounding us. As the Universe is mostly empty space, we 'invent' Dark Matter, Dark Energy and the idea of multiple universes cascading like bubbles throughout an eternal plane to fulfill our desires to make sense of how our Universe formed. And in the field of theoretical virtual particles we look for the famous smallest piece of matter possible - the Higgs Boson and then, when found, prompty decide that there must be matter smaller than this.

It is too easy to just stop research and decide that God made everything, we are enquiring beings who wish to have answers. But if only we input God into all our equations, then we may get real answers. As we have been told, "Ask and it shall be given to you". We don't ask!

Personally I like the idea of the Universe being like a big doughnut!
