Inside whose brain are we living in?

Francisco Miraval                                

Recent astronomical studies completed by a team of the European Southern Observatory using three large telescopes in Chile seem to indicate that gigantic cosmic structures are aligned one with each other even if they are separated by the unthinkable distance of billions of light years.

On November 19, 2014, Dr. Damien Hutsemékers, of the University of Liege, in Belgium, and his team of researchers published a paper in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. The paper is title “Alignment of quasar polarizations with large-scale structures.” According to that paper, supermassive black holes in the center of galaxies are paralleled one with each other.

The team also analyzed the rotation of almost 100 quasars and they noticed that the rotation axes of those quasars were also aligned one with each other even when those quasars are billions of light years away from each other.

In addition, they noticed that the rotation axes of those quasars are aligned not only to each other but also to the “large scale structures” of the universe. What is a “large scale structure”? Stars form galaxies. Galaxies form galaxy groups. Galaxy groups form galaxy clusters. Clusters form superclusters. And superclusters are connected to each other by (what is commonly referred to as) a cosmic web. That’s a cosmic large structure.
According to Hutsemékers, the new data provides “the first observational confirmation” of “a correlation between the orientation of quasars and the structure they belong to.” Hutsemékers said that “the probability of this happening by chance was less than 1%.”
In other words, according to this team of European scientists, nothing in the universe seems to happen just by chance. Quite the contrary, the evolution of the universe seems to follow a predictable numerical model (mathematics). It seems, therefore, that there is a plan behind the universe. And if there is a plan, we can speculate there is some kind of intelligence at work. But that doesn’t mean that intelligence is outside the universe.

Several researches have pointed out that the so-called “cosmic web” connecting the large scale structures of the universe resembles the neuronal web inside a human brain. In other words, it seems the universe is a huge brain and we are living inside that brain. And if that’s the case, whose brain is that?

In 1990, Dr. Frank Meshberger published an article in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) titled “An Interpretation of Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam Based on Neuroanatomy.”

In that article, Meshberger proposes that the well-known painting by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel (completed in 1512 and showing God and Adam almost touching their fingers) is not just a representation of God, but a representation of a human brain. It seems, therefore, that Michelangelo have already noticed half a millennium ago that there is a cosmic connection between the universe (“God”) and humans (“Adam”).

Is the universe is huge brain and the brain a small universe? Is there still a connection between one and the other? And who is thinking whom?
