thanks,

One starting place in your quest for knowledge could be the universe.
The universe is everything that exists. More particularly, one could
ask, is the universe one thing, that is, is it a 'singularity'?, or is
the universe many things or a 'plurality' of existents?

To review some philosophical commentaries on that subject you could do
some research on the discussion groups that are hosted and archived on
www.google.com . Go to 'Groups', and select 'humanities', 'philosophy',
and 'Objectivism'. Search for the following keywords and keyword
combinations:

+universe +plurality
+universe +singularity
+existence +plurality
+existence +singularity
universe
existence
plurality
singularity

Note that a singularity that is claimed to be the universe, as is
claimed by most religionists, has never been observed, however, a
plurality of existents that is the universe has been observed everywhere
in science and by every person. Searches of other groups and keywords
may be helpful.
