Has anyone noticed the uncanny similarity between the way our solar system looks compared to the inside of a human cell?

also, has anyone noticed how similar a brain cell and the universe look?

is it possible we're just some tiny microbes living in a "cell" in some sort of giant manifestation?
also, by looking at the neuron connections, is there a chance those are sort of like tiny black holes which transmit energy through our brain the same way it travels through the empty space of the universe?

i drive myself crazy with these questions.

....that is indeed an idea.

One that quite frankly makes more sense than many. But the implications of it are simply staggering.

Anyone ever seen the film "Pi" by Darren Aronofsky(later responsible for "The Wrestler" and "The Black Swan")?

That idea is actually brought up and discussed by the central character of the film. Neat movie, also.

there are quite a few theories about the fractal nature of the universe it doesn't seem at all unlikely to me although i believe that the universe is everchanging and endles rather then simply a regular fractal.

A very superficial likeness. All of that organic stuff is held together by electrostatic forces.

The universe is held together by gravitation.

The two interactions are very different from each other.

It's neat, but you can see like patterns everywhere in nature.

I have indeed seen that universe comparison. It does make you think.
