Since the Hubble Telescope, our picture of the universe has expanded exponentially. New data and theoretical advances seem to point to a divine matrix or mother universe out of which uncountable universes and galaxies were born.

We can envision an infinite variety of species, millions of inhabited planets, and Carl Sagan looking out upon it all from heaven with awe and wonder.
