The Universe, the human brain and the Internet are clearly three extremely distinct entities though each of them have overlapped a miniscule proportion in the vast infiniteness universe. A recent study proves that they have much more than the insignificant overlap in common.

University of California, San Diego has observed that the structure and the pattern of growth of the three have been closely similar. The growth of a social network and the way the relationships between people grew was also very similar. However they added that the Universe was not a global brain or a computer.

 They pointed out that there were structural and dynamical similarities among different real networks suggest that some universal laws might be in action, though there is no clue as to how the laws have originated or how they have become common.

The time space graph of the complex social networks, biological networks, social networks and a similar one created for the universe by using supercomputers was not very different. "These findings have key implications for both network science and cosmology. We discovered that the large-scale growth dynamics of complex networks and causal networks are asymptotically (at large times) the same, explaining the structural similarity between these networks," noted a researcher in the project.

Pointing at the multifarious depth of the concept, he added that this was a project that combined math, physics, and computer science in totally unexpected ways.

In something that is astronomically big as the universe where sizes tend to be so large that they are better referred to as infinite, it is interesting to find out such a pattern common to the Internet and the brain of humans.
