Are you at all familiar with the fallacy of composition? Because this argument of yours is literally just that.
You can't point to constituent parts of a thing and assert that therefore the whole is identical to those parts. What's particularly laughable about this instance is that we've barely explored the visible universe and yet you're comfortable making fiat assertions about the parts we don't even know about, and what the exterior of it is like. It's like a microbe in a puddle saying that it sees water all around it, and therefore the entirety of reality is water.
