I just saw this interesting TED talk by George Smoot discussing some of the amazing design ‘patterns’ on which the universe is based. It is a very good talk and has some nice illustrations of the space-time machine we are part of.

They had to use super computer for a month to render some of the videos. Note that the pattern  when  looked at large scale is very very similar to the pattern you will see if you look at the neurons structure in a human (or animal) brain!

Mouse brain neuron and the universe

Amazing… this comparison should make any theologian and physicist to take a deep breath and  drink a glass of cold water.

It makes you wonder what actually is life. Is the universe… alive? Maybe life is just not that different than non-life.
