I would say, well, we'll switch for a day.
Yeah.
The answer is yes, there is a connection between the complexity and organization of the human brain and the complexity and organization of the universe.
But that connection is mathematical.
And it's unclear.
Because the math shows that the complexity is just a little bit different.
Here's how I think about it.
And this has been my opinion ever since uh our friend and colleague Jana Levin sort of talked about this uh a bunch of years ago to a different question uh and a different show.
The idea is that when things get complicated in nature and you got to pack a lot of stuff into a little space, fractals start to develop.
Yeah.
Okay.
Fractal patterns are these things that sort of can
Self-repeat and continue to create more and more complexity in smaller and smaller spaces.
But there are different mathematical ways to express fractals.
The most famous is something called the Mandelbroad set, but that's not the only one.
So what's happened is that astronomers have measured the fractal-like patterns of the large-scale structure of the universe, galaxies, dark matter, things like that, and compared it to the fractal patterns of the
human brain, and found that while they are both fractals, they are not the same fractals.
They're not the same mathematical expressions.
Therefore,
It is fair to say that both the human brain's complexity and its structure is related to the large-scale structure of the universe in that they are naturally created and they are fractally based.
