The universe is similar to a huge human brain, scientists have found.A new study investigated the differences and similarities between two of the most complex systems in existence, though at entirely difference scales: the cosmos and its galaxies and the brain and its neuronal cells.They found that while the scale is clearly different, the structure is remarkably similar. In some cases, the two systems seemed more similar to each other than they did to the parts that make them up. THE UNIVERSE IS LIKE A GIANT HUMAN BRAIN, SCIENTISTS FIND, by Andrew Griffin
