I've been writing today, but wanted to get rid of this thought that refuses to leave me alone. I'm hoping that posting it here will exorcise it, at least till the story is done.
We commonly see the universe as one thing with a whole lot of particles with their associated fields in it, but if we alter our point of view slightly it might help us understand things a different way. If we see each particle/field as its own simple universe then what we see as one universe becomes a whole mess of interacting universes. One of the problems of standard physics is to explain the field/particle duality and how fields do their action-at-a-distance thing. This doesn't really explain that, but kinda sidesteps the whole issue. At the moment I can't see any way of testing this, and without that it doesn't really amount to science; it is just the germ of an idea. I can't help feeling though, that this way of looking at things may actually have some uses. It feels really neat.
I'll have to think more on this after the story is done.
OK. Demon exorcised. Back to writing.
