Perhaps our universe is actually the molecular composition of a bigger object?
It's kind of a chicken/egg scenario when talking about the universe. No matter what scenario you build, there has to be something that caused it to happen. Even if you take a creationist approach, something had to create the creator. The stuff fascinates me, just not sure we'll ever get a true answer.
