or maybe not.

This is my favorite comment on the subject so far. I think about this kind of subatomic universe-within-a-universe scenario all the time. IMO, to "exist" requires an acceptance of numerous things or simply none at all. Defining things does appear to be an important exercise for managing our existence within what we agree on as the universe. Does our collective perception of what "is" shape our common physical reality?
I suppose it's possible that a deity or intelligence may have laid the framework for the universe, letting the experiment run it's course. Or could all aspects and events occuring within our known reality be manipulated with precise design? I may be just dreaming all of this in my parallel dimensional bedroom. I should dream of things more gratifying.
