Maybe the single material Universe we are in size is like a ''HALL OF MIRRORS'' a universe made bigger by reflecting it's own universal bodies like putting mirrors on the walls, roof and floor around a small room that makes the room look huge and endless.

This single Material Universe we are in maybe like a ''hall of mirrors''

According to Srimad Bhagavatam we cannot see other Brahmandas or material universe through the different layers of earth or solid rock, fire, air, water, etc that are Quadrillions of miles thick making up our own Brahmanda or universe.

Srila Prabhupada explains we cannot see other universe or Brahmandas from so deep within our Brahmanda (large universe coming fron the body of Maha Vishnu seen below in painting).

Some have speculated that our small Bhu-Mandala universe with its 14 different Planetary Systems deep within the surrounding Brahmanda that is 4 billion miles in diameter and 12 billion 340 million miles in circumference is maybe having a ”hall of mirrors” effect within our own Bhu-Mandala universe or like seeing a mirage in a desert that is an illusion.

Many ask how does Bhagavatam explain the Hubble Telescopes view of the universe that modern science claims expands to about 90 billion light years when Bhagavatam says it is a mere 4 billion miles in diameter and at the speed of light is traveled through in 90 minutes.

The suggestion is all the various so called galaxies maybe simply reflections of our own universe's Planetary Systems like in a ”hall of mirrors” that make the room look a lot bigger than what it is when the floor, roof and walls are all mirrors.

After all no one has traveled deep within space, according to NASA the furthest man has traveled is 238,000 miles away from earth when they apparently went to the Moon that many devotees question, but that is another story.

Modern sciences exploration of Space and understanding comes from telescopes and space probes and Satellites.

It is suggest that many clusters of galaxies seen are reflections of this solar system we are in, the fact is no one knows.

Other devotees like Danavir Maharaj, Sadaputa dasa, Mayesa Dasa, Rajasekhara Das Brahmachari, Richard Cole Radhamohan have all tried to answer this but they also do not know and only have an opinion.

Nothing in sastra will explain why we see other galaxies that make this universe so large when it is only 4 billion miles in diameter and 12 billion 340 million miles in circumference.

Maybe the ”Hall of mirrors” is the best answer.
