The universe is like a giant brain - scientists find
Two Italian astrophysicist and neurosurgeon Franco Vazza and Alberto Feletti teamed up to compare similarities between the universe and networks of neurons in the brain.
While the scales are completely different, the structures of the universe and the human brain have been found to be surprisingly similar, with one side being the universe and the galaxies, the other the brain and nerve cells.

Italian researchers have sought to compare the two most complex networks that humans have ever perceived, and the results are stunning. For example, the human brain is powered by a network of nearly 70 billion neurons, while the universe is thought to possess at least 100 billion galaxies, according to a report published in the journal Frontiers of Physics.
In each system, they are interconnected through a complex network, spanning long, crisscross circuits and interconnecting joints / nodes. Diffuse nodules like these are present in both the universe and the human brain.
And the long circuits make up only about 30% of the volume of both systems. Of which, about 70% of the mass is made from passive parts, such as fluid in the human brain and dark energy in the universe.
In it, dark energy is a mysterious force that causes the expansion of the universe accelerating with time. It was not until the late 1990s that researchers first deduced the existence of this mysterious force.
To learn more about these similarities, the researchers compared the formation of galactic networks with regions of the brain. Specifically, they want to define how matter is spread along two seemingly completely different systems.
The researchers used a combination of methods from cosmology, neuroscience, and network analysis to quantitatively compare the two.
They also examined how neural networks and galaxies connect, and again found impressive similarities, obeying the same laws of physics.
