I don't know too much about star arrangements, but my guess is that it's either a very large star that's fairly far away, or another planet in the solar system.

Alright, so here's an explanation of the Quilted Multiverse Theory for those of you who have no idea what it is I just said: Think of the universe as one, MASSIVE planar grid. Or say, a giant paper grid laying on top of a table. Now, every so often in the boxes of the grid is a dimension. Each of these dimensions was created by the Big Bang (that's the theory), and even though millions of years have passed, bringing us to present day, the light traveling through space thrown off by the big bang is still traveling outwards. The space between all these dimensions where the light from all the "big bangs" hasn't reached contains no light, and therefore can't be seen until "our" section of light expands into it, creating our "cosmic horizon". So, put simply, we can only see as far as our light has reached, and that is our own individual cosmic horizon. All these lights from the dimensions continue to expand, and after so much time has passed, they collide. Now, you're sitting here going "big whoop who cares, light collides, nothing's going to happen". But this is where the QMT gets interesting. It is stated within the theory that there is a specific distance from your current dimension that another, exact copy of you, your planet, your solar system, your galaxy, etc. exist in one of these dimensions, if not more. And when all the individual light "diameters" expand to the point where the entire universe is exposed to every dimension, they effectively become one dimension. So, my questions to you (you don't have to answer them all, I just want opinions) are: Provided you had a ship fast enough to get you to what once was a dimension that was a copy of yours before your copy died, how do you think the copy would react? If only one dimension can exist within our perception, what decided which copies and realities get "deleted"? Do you think this same concept applies to separate universes, rather than dimensions, considering we have no idea how large space is? Any questions of your own? Maybe I didn't explain the theory clearly enough?

I actually really like what you've come up with, and I've had some ideas of my own that are quite similar. If you'd like to discuss it further, feel free to add me then message me. Either way, like I said, I've had similar thoughts. Mine, however, are a little bit more on the literal scale. Sometimes (it's just a random thought that formed in my head) I believe that humans as a species consider ourselves far too important. Yes, we've done great things, but we're only using 10-15% of our total brainpower. A lot of us believe that humans are the greatest thing in the universe, when we've seen less than 1% of it. In terms of you talking about the human race, our planet, solar system, and galaxy being part of something much, MUCH larger, I completely agree. My own thought is that we're part of a massive, cosmic being that functions on an even larger scale. Which sounds completely absurd, I know, but it was one of the many things that formulate in my wandering brain. Anyway, nice job, I like your idea.

Not trying to troll or anything, but *coughcough* did someone seriously use Wikipedia as a source? O.o

That's actually not too bad of a theory, but it'd be nice if it wasn't one large block of text. And black holes aren't anti-gravitic "powerhouses" as you call them. Firstly, they're a gravitic force in themselves, which is what allows them to suck in everything in the vicinity, and they are created when too much energy occupies a specific area of space. Think of it like a bottle attached to a hose. If you had the impossible ability of controlling how much water went into the bottle, and knowing the amount of force it produced, you would continue to pack the bottle with water molecules (the molecules being the metaphor for the energy) and eventually a crack or hole would appear in the side of the bottle (non-metaphorically, a black hole) that would suck in (or spew out in the waters case) some of the tightly packed water molecules. As for the rest of your questions, they are theoretical, so there isn't any real answer so far, but good job nonetheless, you made me think

In my opinion, there isn't a true, real reason to value another individual's life. There are many different factors that could affect the way one would think about this subject. Primarily, I would say the first aspect is that of the individuals morals and standards. For example, the values of another human's life differ between that of a psychopathic homicidal maniac, and that of a devout religious person who believes that all God's children are his kin. This is a difficult question to answer because like I said, there is no definite answer. It depends on perspective, morals, judgments, prejudices, beliefs, predispositions, etc.. If it helps at all, I value others' lives out of respect. It sounds strange, but I'm Agnostic (so not necessarily religious), and most definitely homicidal, but I believe that their life is equal to mine, regardless of who they are (there still remain exceptions, like child molesters, etc.). What would give me the right to steal another's life? Yes, it's possible, and quite easy for me to do so, considering how fragile humans are, but just because it's possible doesn't mean there's good reason to do it. Hope that helps.

Holy crap, I'm SO SORRY for the repeat posts, I didn't mean to do that at all my bad >.<

I would say yes, because you're only changing its physical state, rather than reacting the element chemically with another element or compound. Though, I could be wrong, so don't run off and do an experiment just based on what I said.

I'm not anyone to tell you your theory is wrong, because clearly nobody has the authority to do so, but it does seem a little... faceted. You group the six-plus BILLION people on this planet into two categories, which I found quite preposterous, and it seems rather biased. By no means am I trying to insult you, just tell you my opinion. And your theory isn't that far off from some of the Middle-Eastern religions, based upon the principles that how well you perform throughout your life determines whether you move up or down in the spiritual ladder of existence. All in all, it seems that you've spent a lot of time working on this, and if you compiled and brain-stormed this theory with other individuals, you may end up with something solid.
