Hym "I mean like fighting a Galactus or something! God this sucks! Every God damn time!"

Iam "You don't know that this isn't the first time."

Hym "That's still 100%!"

Iam "Well... I'm sure it'll be fine. Maybe they'll try and it'll activate our superpowers or something."

Hym "That would be dope. We could subjugate humanity!"

Macrocosm and Microcosm (Science)

The principle that the patterns and structures of the very large (macrocosm) are reflected in the very small (microcosm), and vice versa. It's the scientific echo of "as above, so below." An atom with a nucleus and orbiting electrons structurally resembles a solar system with a star and orbiting planets. The neural networks in your brain resemble the web of galaxies in the universe. This concept suggests that the universe is a self-similar, holographic system where the laws of physics create repeating patterns at every scale, from the quantum foam to the cosmic web. Understanding the microcosm (like quantum mechanics) often gives you the keys to understanding the macrocosm (like the behavior of black holes).
Macrocosm and Microcosm (Science) "Look at this fractal broccoli. Now look at a satellite image of a forest. Now look at a diagram of your lungs. Macrocosm and Microcosm, baby. Nature's just copy-pasting the same 'efficient branching' design at every scale because it's too lazy to come up with something new."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
