Brain Cells and the Universe

RE: Brain Cells and the Universe
(February 7, 2013 at 3:23 pm)Chuck Wrote: The structure and function of the human nervous system came about as a result of an infinite number of feed back from an infinite number of evolutionary selections.

Perhaps the universe is a product of something very similar, you don't know.

There's a web like arrangement to the universe as well, it involves the distribution of dark matter. What is dark matter? We don't know.

Evolution would have moulded the brain into it's size, shape and functionality as whole over time so perhaps the universe as we know it was moulded in some equivalent but yet unknown process.

Structurly there seems to be a level of organisation both the human brain and the universe as a whole. It's not just pattern recognition from randomness as there definite structure there. I'm sure there's a good explanation for it the same as there is an explanation for the human brain and why that has a structure.

At the same time you can't really say the universe is just a random formation without structure. It has structure comparable to magnified neurons in the brain.
