“Our universe contains about 200 billion galaxies. These galaxies are not uniformly distributed – under the pull of gravity, they lump into clusters, and the clusters form superclusters. Between these clusters, galaxies align along thin threads, the “galactic filaments”, which can be several hundred million light-years long. Galactic clusters and filaments are surrounded by voids that contain very little matter. Altogether, the cosmic web looks somewhat like a human brain.

To be more precise, the distribution of matter in the universe looks a little like the “connectome,” the network of nerve connections in the human brain. Neurons in the human brain, too, form clusters, and they connect by axons, that are long nerve fibers which send electrical impulses from one neuron to another.“

My dog's vomit also looks like a “connectome,” with slime connecting all the big chunks. So, "based on foundations of physics, including quantum gravity, physics beyond the standard model, dark matter, and quantum foundations" the vomit probably thinks.


Do better, SC.

That is an inane article even by Time Magazine standards.

Truly pathetic.

Wow man, it's just like Avatar!

"The Italian physicist Paola Zizzi, taking the Penrose/Hameroff model a logical step forward, has developed the theory that in the moment of the Big Bang, the universe also acquired consciousness (in the sense of these Platonic ideal structures), which she calls the Big Wow."

That's when the real thinking begins!
