I just love these images. On the left, you have the brain cell, which is has three neurons and their connections to one another; the other is a snap shot of our present-day universe with its own yellow galaxies and surrounded by "stars and dark matter" (Source: http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/ - Accessed 02/09/14). There have been suggestions about the universe being a giant brain for years, mostly in far-fetched sci-fi novels, but it appears that scientists are warming to this idea.
Computer simulation has shown that the universe "may grow like a giant brain" and that "previously undiscovered fundamental laws govern systems both large and small, from the growth of brains [...] to the expansion of galaxies" (Source: http://www.nbcnews.com/ - Accessed 02/09/14). Now, none of this is new - the data has been available for at least two years, but I think it is something that Dawkins and his crew should stop short and chew on. It could be a contributory factor to the possibility of 'Intelligent Design,' rather than just 'Natural Selection.' It is not concrete proof, but it does have fascinating possibilities.

I'm chortling at the idea. Tis sorting out one of my 'what was before....' questions. OOOhh love it.
And Mr. Pickover I am going to twitterfollow... he's FUN!!!! I wish I had a brain... I just stand in the gutter and marvel.
