Our Universe is a Brain.

"Everything is perfect in the universe - even your desire to improve it" - Wayne Dyer

Top is the Brain neurone of a mouse.
Botton is the Universe.

Look at the image to the right, they look quite alike - right? As the caption says, the top photo is a brain neurone. It is only micrometers wide, that is tiny. 1×10^-6 metres, this is 0.001mm. 


The bottom photo is billions of light years across, it is a computer simulated rendering of our Universe's growth. The bottom picture is filled with dark matter, and clusters of galaxies. 


The resemblance is remarkable. You can clearly see a correlation between the two. 


So then, you know what i'm going to ask.


Do we just exist in a brain? 


Are we just microscopic 'things' living in the brain of something far bigger than us? And is what we are living in, living in someone else's brain?


It reminds me of 'The Sims', the computer game. We're controlling people through a computer - what if people are controlling our actions through a computer, or in this case a brain? 


It is simply mind blowing, we cannot comprehend the vastness of our own Universe, never mind a bigger one, and bigger.


What if though.


What if we are just microscopic, useless in a sense. But relatively we are quite big, when compared to other things. Like for example, a pair of slippers? Or a spider.


What if, in our brain there is a Universe? And in that Universe, everyone's brain has another Universe. It becomes smaller and smaller. If this was the case, how many universes would there be? Trillions, quintillions, octillions even?


Our brain is the most complex thing in the Universe. But doesn't that mean, a universe is the most complicated thing in the Universe? Its confusing; hard to comprehend even slightly.


To conclude, what do you think? Are we just microscopic life forms, doing simple tasks for a higher being? Could the brain we are lodged in be God? We could be just lodged in the brain of a deity. But then, doesn't that make us Gods? I don't think it could ever be proved that we are in a brain, in fact the odds are against it, completely.
