one of my favorite things about space is the large-scale structure: if you zoom out enough, galaxies form structures, sheets, walls, and voids, making a neuron-esque web.
and if you zoom out too far, the structures turn into uniform noise, a scale called the End of Greatness

Not surprised the universe takes the form of a neural web at different levels of amplification. It is an infinite mind after all.

it’s interesting to think about the sheer scale of the universe in tandem with the events of today. At one scale, something seems all-consuming and important, at another utterly meaningless

It gives me great pleasure to visualize myself as no more than a tiny dot on Earth, Earth as a tiny dot in the Milky Way, the Milky Way as a tiny dot in the Virgo galaxy cluster, and then Virgo as a tiny dot in the Laniakea supercluster.
