Patterns In The Universe

Behold.

On the left is a picture of three neurons of a mouse's brain.

On the right is a picture of a computer simulation of the present universe.

The resemblance is either a damn coincidence or ...

I don't believe in a personal God. But I believe there is some force or forces beyond our control; and these forces form and shape the universe. I call them The Divine or The Numinous.

It isn't God, but it's like God. And to quote the Psalm 14:1 -- the fool in heart says there is no God.

ADDENUM: If you want to see the picture in more details, then please click on it.

Two Scientific Shorts

I noted these things back in December 1994:
  • The oldest and largest living organism isn't an animal. It's a underground fungus that's about 37 acres large and 10 thousand years old. It's in Michigan's Upper Peninsula right by the Wisconsin border:
  • Cro-Magnon Man and Neanderthal Man co-existed about 35 thousand years ago until Cro-Magnon Man pushed out/co-opted/killed the Neanderthals.
