Interesting.
If our solar system, and all the other systems are basically macro-atomic analogues to what we think of as an actual atom...then wouldn't what cosmologists call 'Dark matter' and 'Dark energy' be the macro analogues of both the strong and weak nuclear forces holding it all together?
It's possible.
They don't know what they are either, that's why they're 'dark'. It would tend to fit in with an ever increasing macroscopic atomic analogy, leading to multi, mega and gigaverses (and beyond) wouldn't it?

That is assuming there is an edge to our universe and the big bang is correct...I don't believe it for a second myself.

You're right!
We'd have to come up with a new term for the "entire universe" because there are now mulitple universes and surely the term "universe" does contain them all.
Quick everybody think of the new term and get a patent for it!

Do you mean dark matter and dark energy is the actual fundamental force of both the micro (atomic) and macro (multiversal) scale we think of as strong and weak nuclear force? The 'glue' of the multiverse(s) for literally everything. Because that's pretty much what i meant.
Or something else?
