Indeed, one seems to be a metaphor for the other and vice versa. The fact that neurons and galaxies build such similar morphological frameworks is fascinating. In fact, it’s almost hard to believe. It might seem ridiculous to look for similarities between these two dimensions. Nevertheless, both neuroscience and quantum physics have spent years exploring the parameters that bring them closer together. In this regard, Vitaly Vanchurin, professor of physics at the University of Minnesota Duluth,…
