There are quite a few people that cannot see things from other's perspective TC. In fact (in psychology), there has been quite a bit of study done on why some people move past certain points in moral development and some people do not. (not so) Surprisingly, that moral stage of development (past black and white) occurs around the HS years. It is a shame then that you decided to stop thinking about it I guess (perhaps you were almost there).

I sometime visualize a world where there is a god and try to work out how that world would turn out to be.

I try to imagine if everything that exists now never existed, like galaxies, planet, life, etc.

The gears in my brain go black and shut down shortly.

I try to imagine a system of universes, all contained within some megauniverse. Then I try to imagine where that megauniverse might be, and I come up with a system of megauniverses contained within some megamegauniverse. And then- You get the gist. Also, all this while, I try to imagine the complete lack of space-time (since space-time is a property unique to our universe)

^ I used to do that. And i wondered if it would stop or just keep going and going. I also try to imagine from time to time what was before matter and how matter formed, i obviously failed since much much smarter minds don't have a solution to that problem, it's a fun thought experiment though.

Exactly. I don't have much problem with the no matter question though. It's trying to imagine a lack of space-time that weirds me out.

Trying to think about what life was like, before life didn't exist, or before even the universe existed. What was it like when there wasn't a universe or universes? Just a bunch of black?

Or what about death, if we don't go to heaven or whatever, then what is death like? It's basically eternal sleep, yes, but normal sleep has an end, but what happens when it doesn't end, and when we don't have dreams or nightmares to fill in the space?

Trying to figure out how was it like before life isn't very hard, science has it figured it out or has a pretty good idea of how it happened. Whether it is the formation of the solar system and the cooling down of Earth, or the creation and evolution of life on this planet. That being said, i like you and charizard, have a problem too figuring out what was it when like there was no space-time continuum, so there was no time either and yet at certain point of time, ahhh... As far as death goes i think it's just ceasing to exist, you feel nothing you perceive nothing, your body is completely shut down and... you're dead.

I imagined how big the universe is compared to our little planet and how everything and everyone on Earth is just a tiny speck of the universe. Then I start to think that if I were to go outside and start killing everyone the universe wouldn't even notice.

Well, I always figure that our lives can't be actually destroyed, even through death. I think of death as a peaceful way to move onto another life. :)

Th most? Way to many abstract thoughts that go on in my head to remember like 97% of them so I'll just say how sometimes I think there is no wrong or right, there just is. After that I start to confuse myself.

I typically find myself looking at every single student at a school and going "There are at least 4 other people attached to them, 4 more lives which are attached to even more". Or just looking at the world and how vast our technology is, how it all works and how we take it all for granted.
