Interesting hypotheses.

Just a hypotheses I've devoted thought to over the years.  It was triggered by a theory of Hawking's I read in one of his books.

Hawking's theory was basically a Horton Hears a Who type of theory.  If we are made up of small spheres, is it not possible for our larger spheres to be the smaller spheres of perhaps even larger spheres that build up a completely different universe.

Thinking about this led me to thinking about infinity, and how many different worlds, with completely different laws of physics there could be, as your perspective of everything enlargened…  Which of course led to the thought of infinity.  I was thinking that perhaps, to solve the problem of a universe that constantly has to be growing(and the problem of “What happens if you travel faster that the rate the universe is expanding at, past the edge?”), the universe is not infinite in a conceivable sense, but that when your perception expands enough, the universe itself exists within every atom, or indeed, every “smallest” sphere, which of course would be a null term, if this were correct.  Pi would probably have a large part to do with this, since it describes a sphere, and circle, and this is a loop itself.

To expand on this, I later thought that perhaps gravity was caused because the universe pulled on itself through this loop, which would also cause the spherical shapes that gravity tends to pull everything into when it's strong enough.  Which leads to an interesting thought I had when studying the phases of the moon…  I know that the same side of the moon faces the Earth because it's more dense on that side, but I was thinking…  Since down is always down to anything in the Earth's gravity, but there are no directions in space, is the moon's orbit around us not similar to something passing over a flat plane?  If you were to unfold the Earth, and have the moon pass over it, the same side would of course be facing the Earth, unless you gave it spin.  So does the moon actually rotate, to keep this side facing us?  Or does it stay stationary, and only our perception of direction created by the Earth's gravity change?

I've tossed this idea to a few friends before, but no one has had any feedback on it really.  After reading some of your thoughts in these threads, I was wondering what you have to think about it.
