A coincidence.

Carefully picked pictures showing similarities between unrelated phenomena.

The work of God, bro.

too much of one

>>5107501
Never heard of cherry picking, eh?

Pareidolia

>One place in the millennium simulation that looks a bit like a neuron
as opposed to the many other places that don't look like neurons

>One supernova aftermath that has two rings of gas coming off it that looks a bit like a cell splitting
as opposed to all the supernovae that don't look like anything in particular

>One nebula that has a VERY loose resemblance to an eye
as opposed to the many other... You can see where this is going.

>>5107501
>too much of one
Find me something that looks like my toe.

Seriously you're pushing it. I suppose a leaf looks like the universe too

>>5107476
Nice photo of the universe, bro.

>>5107480

I dunno, maybe there it's more to it. Maybe similar principles of organization and statistics are working at different scales.

>>5107543
No, the OP's image is just going through large sets of data looking specifically for similarities to highlight. It does not imply anything as the data sets are so large that these incidences are insignificant.

>>5107543
Then you must research it rigorously. If you watched Cosmos, you'd know about that guy who spent his ENTIRE life trying to go to Egypt and find out what hieroglyphics were all about. And remember to not jump to stupid conclusions like those conspiracy theorists or mystics. Be careful.

Don't these elementary particles look like hearts?

>>5107482
This.

>>5107571
how do you know theyre unrelated though?

>>5107579
Because barring visual similarity between said cherry-picked images, nothing links a brain cell to a (stylized) image of the universe, a cell splitting to a planetary nebula, or an eye to a supernova. It's just bullshit that spiritualist retards like to make up to back up their "everything is connected" crap.

>>5107476

actually stars can die in many ways

>>5107542

>>5107588
>>5107542
can you guys post a more accurate pic of the universe

>>5107593
It's not fucking hard to grasp.
OP's pic is a map of dark matter.

Shit just happens to either be efficient or least complicated.

HOLY SHIT SAND DUNES LOOK LIKE OCEANS IN SLOW MOTION. MIND BLOWN.

I don't see why everyone is jumping to say there is no relation when there clearly is... things of different scale look similar because everything follows the same laws of physics.. again the examples are only varying in scale.

Complex formations of atoms are not random.. they follow mathematical patterns and symmetries.

It is no coincidence at all.

>>5107628
This. It's all the same physical laws on varying scales.

>>5107634
Except dominant mechanisms are totally different at different scales.

GUYS GUYS GUYS
The brain's capacity is virtually limitless, right? Right?
And the universe is ever expanding, so it's infinite, right? Right?
COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.

>>5107637
Which is all relative. A galaxy could could be considered a particle on the scale of the universe.

hardly a coincidence?

Jesus

>>5107628
What this guy was eluding to but never actually said was "fractals"

Nature shows endless examples of fractals. Inherently across all length scales

>>5107480
Considering the fact that there may be smaller particles than atoms in our bodies we can't see yet it may not be a concidence at all, especially the cell=universe thing.

>>5107670
God damn I hate it when my hippie friends tell me to open my mind. Hows 'bout I open your ass with my foot.

>>5107646
Uh... no. You do realize that if you divide the size of a system by 1000, surface effects (like viscosity) will be divided by 1 million while volume effects (like gravitiy) will be divided by 1 billion.
Scales in physic have different laws.

>>5107644
3 TB highly compressed. I have more space on my desktop computer.

>>5107749

There might still be mathematical parallels between these systems.

>>5107735
>there may be smaller particles than atoms in our bodies
Is this a joke?

>>5107808

EVERY ATOM IS A GALAXY
EVERY PARTICLE IS A UNIVERSE

>>5107735

Let me guess you think that electrons are little balls that go flying in circles around the nucleus of an atom?

>>5107614
Are you being sarcastic?
I honestly can't tell :/

>>5107826
Are you?

>>5107757
What's considered a byte in human memory?

>>5107844

3 neurons. 2^3 = 8.

>>5107800
If there *might* be, then it's a coincidence.

>>5107852

Maybe, maybe not.

>>5107851
I don't think I understand. Are you saying three neurons can hold a collective value between 0 and 7?

>>5107882
This just shows how stupid those who say the brain is a computer are.

>>5107851

> describing neurons as binary storage of information

ISHYGDDT

>>5107903
You're smarter than everyone who has ever lived *smooch.* Please exhale into my mouth. Oh my gosh, you're so brilliant and amazing.

>>5107851
>neurons are one bit each

I thought physicists gave up using mcculloch-pitts neurons to model organic brain function in the 80s...?

This is so false it hurts.

>>5107867
SCIENCE

What is the universe picture anyway?
It's just a galaxy, no?

The eye and nebula pic is pushing it.

>>5107903
>never heard of neural networks
Wow, are you a theist?

the star and eye are way too much a stretch.

The neuron and universe image was a little bit profound, but it's been ruined.

COINCIDENCE!?

>>5108917
No, it must have something to do with human psychology and sexual orientation! I will write a paper in sociology about this and prove that all humans are gay!

>>5108924
wow here's your PhD and job at subway!

>>5108917

ok seriously guys

I can't be the only that's noticed this

>>5108994
> infinity the number
How cute

>>5109008
<div class="math">\infty\in\overline{\mathbb{R}}</div><div class="math">\infty\in\mathbb{R}^{*}</div><div class="math">\infty\in\mathbb{C}^{*}</div>ur a fagget

Ok guys if you accept the bible, i can understand if you dont but if you do dont you have to accept that the whole universe as a whole is a fractal of itself? i mean god is a bearded guy and there are bearded guys on earth so what if the bearded guys are gods of thier own universe haha! ow my brain hurts. good luck /sci/!

>>5109025
And which one of those is a field?

>>5109041
Only <span class="math">\overline{\mathbb{R}}[/spoiler] is a field, but I don't see how that is relevant...

>>5109050
But it isn't.
And it's relevant because when people say number they are usually talking about either C or R, and expect to be able to add, divide, multiply, etc. They aren't talking about some arbitrary topological space.

>>5109041
>>5109068
>implying the hyperreals are not a field

>>5109068
It's almost a field

bit because thats not even remotely what a heart looks like.
