The universe is something we're just now learning about and I feel like right now is not the right time to talk about it as we really don't know that much about it. We know it exists and we have a feeling it's expanding, which will probably ease the traffic. But we are not sure about many things. Sure, the Big Bang theory might work for you and it's a pretty valid theory, but like one of the posters here, I agree that it did not completely create the universe. There had to be something else there before. But then something else had to have triggered the start of the universe. At least we think so. But then again, I'm not sure. Because without someone to witness the beginning of the universe or something at least, there is no independent observer, so there really is no way to know for sure.
But we are aware of more and more every day and that's good. We know our place, but we still don't know why. Some people use religion, others use science, but even though science explains the how, it doesn't explain the why. And religion doens't explain the how very well, IMO. So it's a paradox that we could spend generations trying to figure out, but it's almost as if it would be futile because I'm not even sure if there's an answer out there. And if there is, I'm sure it will take years and years to find it. But it is very interesting stuff to talk about.
But since this is a "subjective reality," maybe the universe is exactly what we believe it to be and by thinking thee thoughts, we're creating this gigantic, insurmountable system of multiple galaxies, all which make us see how insignificant we are. Maybe we're the ones who created this thing and that's the only reason that it's there. I don't know, I don't do atronomy.
