The entire world or the universe.

We live in a macrocosm opposed to living in our own world. See microcosm and wobblotocrosm

Macrocosm

Ooooohhh.... Oops.... Yeah I see how that works

Hym "Shit shit shit ..."

Iam "What?"

Hym "They're going to light us on fire or something this time!"

Iam "Well, we die either way and there's no reason to assume the pattern breaks"

Hym "I don't care! That's not the point! That shit is the worst! Ugh!"

Iam "I donno... Maybe it won't be that bad this time."

Hym "We won't even get to die fighting something cool!"

Iam "I donno the horde is kind of cool..."

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!"

Iam "No."

Hym "What!? But it would be funny. Macrocosm. Shit... Shit shit shit."

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."
