Not only are the complexities of
the brain and cosmic web actually
similar, but so are their structures.

Cosmic relations is an ideology that everything in the universe is somehow connected with one another. The biggest theory surrounding this is the similarities between the human brain and the universe.

The total number of neurons
in the human brain falls in the
same ballpark of the number
of galaxies in the observable
universe.

of light-years. At the smallest scales available to microscopic observation (about 10 µm), it is the morphology of the cortex that more closely matches the one of galaxies, on scales of a few hundreds of thousands of light-years.

It is truly a remarkable fact that the cosmic web is more similar to the human brain than it is to the interior of a galaxy; or that the neuronal network is more similar to the cosmic web than it is to the interior of a neuronal body. Despite extraordinary differences in substrate, physical mechanisms, and size, the human neuronal network and the cosmos of galaxies, when considered with the tools of information theory, are strikingly similar.
