How similar is the structure of the universe to the human brain?The incredible truth is food for tho

Mondo Entertainment Updated on 2024-01-29

Two Italian scientists, Franco Vazza and Alberto Feletti, recently discovered:There is a high degree of similarity between the larger structure of the universe and our brain's nervous system. In terms of function, both the universe and the brain have the ability to transmit information, process data, and heal themselves.

This discovery not only challenges our understanding of the universe and the nature of life, but at the same time, when we look at our own brains, we are also puzzled by its complexity and mysteries. The seemingly unrelated universe and brain actually share many surprising similarities.

As can be seen from this comparison of the cosmic fiber network structure and the neurons in the brain, in terms of fractal structure and connection, the tens of billions of light-years galaxy clusters in the universe and the neurons in the brain are completely identical, and the galaxies in the universe interact through gravity, just as neurons communicate through synaptic connections. This structural similarity suggests that both the macrostructure of the universe and the microstructure of the human brain may follow the same physical principles.

Back in 2017, they published an article in the Nautilus Quarterly, stating that "galaxies can be combined into massive structures (such as galaxy clusters, superclusters, or filaments) that extend hundreds of millions of light-years, and the boundaries between these structures and the nearby vast void of space known as cosmic holes are extremely complex." The material at these boundaries will be accelerated to thousands of kilometers per second, under the influence of gravity, creating shock waves and turbulence between the interstellar gases.

The study by Vazza and Feletti also states that the human brain contains about 69 billion neurons, while there are an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Galaxies make up 30% of the total mass in the universe, and neurons make up about 30% of the brain. Scale-wise, the brain and the universe are at least 27 orders of magnitude apart, which has nothing to do with the astonishing complexity of our brains, but the structure of the brain is comparable to that of the universe hundreds of millions of light-years. While the mechanisms that drive the structure of the universe and the human brain are vastly different, the complexity and self-organization between the two are strikingly consistent

Long before these two Italian scientists, physicist Boltzmann proposed itBoltzmann brainThis kind of brain is actually the accumulation of countless particles in the universe, that is to say, since the universe can produce highly ordered stars and planets out of thin air, and even human beings on the earth, then theoretically speaking, a brain can also be automatically produced in the universe, and it is a brain with the ability to think.

Because all matter in the universe is essentially a combination of elementary particles, and the difficulty of forming a brain is certainly less difficult than that of forming stars first, then the earth, and finally humans on earth, some physicists imagine that there may be countless Boltzmann brains in our universe.

Of course, having said all this, it cannot be roughly assumed that the universe is the human brain, or that the universe has its own consciousness. But from these studies, we do find that, at least in terms of the law of growth, the large-scale structure of the universe is very similar to that of the human brain. That alone is amazing enough.

Our brains have about a trillion brain cells. There are 100 billion brain cells in the middle of a trillion brain cells, which have memory and storage functions. Each of these 100 billion cells stores the equivalent of a 40G hard disk capacity Pentium computer, and if you know about computers, you know that this is an astronomical amount.

If you want to fill all the space in it, type 200 words per minute, and keep knocking non-stop, you need to type for 200 years!And you have 100 billion of these computers in your brain!According to many scientists, this thing can't be calculated, it's too much!

Brain science is now at the forefront of physiology. It tells us that the brain is the only organ in the human body that can develop and grow throughout life. When you're about 18 years old, the cells in your brain don't increase anymore, and by the time you're 25 years old, your organs stop developing and you're basically behaving like a mature person. Xi The only organ in the body, the brain cells, learns and thinks, and it connects to a network, and one cell can connect with about 150,000 cells. If you studied advanced mathematics at university, you can know that there are 100 billion cells, and each of the 100 trillion cells has 150,000 possibilities for network connections, which is almost impossible to explain how large it is.

Our universe is so grand and spectacular that we can only see a small part of it. However, this study also provides us with a new perspective, the similarity between the universe and the brain, and we may be closer to understanding the true nature of life and the universe.
