Pretty sure our entire universe is just a cell of a larger something. Or were in a simulation. Either way.

Exactly. Infinitely large, infinitely small.
As above so below.
It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney
It's big and black and inky
And we are small and dinky
It's a big universe, and we're not!
It’s a giant brain.
I’ve thought this for ages myself also. Loved it when Men In Black kinda memed it also lol
A while ago I had a mini existential crisis about how things existing at all just makes no sense, and eventually concluded that things existing at all means that "nothing" is in some way unnatural and has a chance to become matter, which would then imply infinite universes as there would have to be infinite "nothing", since that's what would be outside our universe.
So yea, I'm thinking it's probably large somethings for forever, always getting larger.
There's always a bigger ... Structure.
