Universal Brain
Last year some time I came up with this theory that cellular and molecular structures aren’t terribly dissimilar from visual representations of space and planets when dark matter is shown. What got me thinking about this was reading about how the smallest building blocks of “stuff” we can measure in an atom or molecule actually contain smaller bits like that are as far apart from each other relatively-speaking as the earth from the sun. Right around then I saw the movie, “What the Bleep! Do We Know”, and the graphics that travelled around the brain in this movie kind of struck me as looking awfully space-like.
Of course this got me thinking about stories I’ve read (and wrote way back) about our universe being a micro, supersmall speck of dust in another larger universe, and so on up and down size-wise. Fun to think about….
Even more fun to find this image making the rounds today on the net….
comparing the structure of a neuron in our brain to a long shot of a cluster of galaxies and dark matter in space.
Heh.
