The nature of the universe

Today I have been encouraged to write about a tricky issue. But unfortunately I am neither a physicist nor a philosopher. I always thought that the universe began in a cosmic bellybutton. This is a naive idea, I know. Well, once someone told me that a really hefty rocket exploded and disseminated millions or trillions of particles all around the universe. It is great to envisage this beautiful fireworks spectacle of the very beginning. So I can imagine that we only are one spark of this explosion and that anywhere and anytime we are part of the universe’s ball, like confetti falling down.
