Unity of the Holographic Multiverse
There are other Univereses that exist amongst ours. This collection of infinite probabilities, the Multiverse, exists in a way that a holographic image exists. Interestingly, when a holographic image is refracted in two, each half contains the entire image of the original! It's half the size, but isn't that curious? Each of these images can be split again, and the quarter images still contain the entire image. This can be done again and again until we lose the ability to detect the image resolution, even with powerful instruments.

The existence of the rest of the Multiverse can be observed in an experiment with a flashlight and cardboard. If you cut the lights and shine a beam of the flashlight at a tiny hole in the cardboard, the photons of light through the hole cast a dot of light on a surface some meters away. But the size of this dot is not what you might expect from the size of the pinhole in the cardboard. If you look closely, there is a bright dot with a dimmer ring of light around it, and another around that. This is because of the wave-like behavior of light.

But why does light ask this way? These are photons we are talking about. Little pieces of energy that we can distinctly distinguish. We can thin a beam of light down to the point where a detector can clearly distinguish individual photons from a very very faint light source, as well as their very erratic behavior. Something is working on these photons such to weave them out and about through either air or through a vacuum. We see this as color, which changes as a photon has more or less energy to swim through this wavelike meddling mystery.
Light bends because of latent effect, which turn out to be photons from other universes (shadow photons affecting “tangible” photons). There are many more shadows than tangibles. How many? Current experiments cannot predict the limit, but a rough lower bound is something of about a trillion shadow photons for each tangible! Quantum theory predicts, and experiments show that the shadow phenomenon occurs for every type of known particle.
What's exciting is that science is striving to make a huge leap in the understanding of unknown particles. Thousands of brilliant minds invented the Large Hadron Collidor, which was completed near Geneva, Switzerland in 2008. It is the worlds largest machine, a gigantic ring, 17 miles around, buried underground. At a chilling 1.9 K (almost absolute zero), its cryogenic system is more than 8 times larger than any other on Earth, and colder than deep space!

The mysteries of the Quantum Theory are most thought to be explained by the undetectable particles. They are going to smash protons together at 99.99% the speed of light to burst them apart and detect the unknown particles which are holding them together. It is incredibly unlikely that in any way this will create a black hole, so don't worry.
So at first, I thought our Universe must be like an electron in a much greater Universe. We are expanding right now, as the result of the Big Bang, and perhaps we will collapse into a different plane of existence (with the Big Crunch), traveling outside of our Space-Time and reappear as an electron or other particle as we travel through this greater Universe that is the essence of who we are. If any slice of this Multiverse were to be inspected on a smaller level, as from an "outsider," it would reflect the entire "image" of the Multiverse, much like the interesting holograph. Bear in mind that this is inspecting it from outside of our Space-Time.
But then I realized that if that were true, and if you kept inspecting the entire Multiverse at closer and closer levels, you would eventually fall upon a single "image" of Our Universe, frozen in Space-Time. And if you sliced ours into infinitesimal bits, you would still see the full "image." So does this preclude the possibility that parallel universes experience different realities that us? Certainly not, although we would obey the same laws of physics. They are just the other possibilities that could, will ever, and do exist, which "change" as the whole big mess is interacting with itself, and it affects us in subtle, but significant ways: like being able to see color, and... exist. As far as any thing "beyond" that great Multiverse, it is simply silly to think that anything would be "beyond" it. Remember that it is a representation of our universe, and the rest of existence lies "behind" what we can readily distinguish with our 5 senses.
But that doesn't mean we'll never understand it, and I think we will do amazing things with it. Think of the amazing power that might come in handy if one were to, say, harness the gravity of a parallel universe. Or to travel across this abyss which exists behind our existence through "gateways" and reappear in distant places in our Universe, or even reappear in the grocery store... But we should be warned of the potential for obesity and laziness, if we never need to walk anywhere anymore. And think of how our planet suffers when we become lazy. But if we can replace cars in a mindful way, there is amazing potential for saving energy, rescuing our planet from pollution! From New york to Sydney we could travel within the slice of a millisecond! Think of the bridge of communication that could take place across the world and we wouldn't "need" to fight for oil (we don't need to do this, by the way- we need jobs in clean energy). Then the only thing to have wars about will be religion. And that's a silly thing to fight about.
The infinite Multiverse, anyone?
