Look, I'm not saying our universe exists as a node in an infinite fractal of repeating universes, but one of these is the largest structure we can see and another is the smallest:
Voroni pattern. It shows up in nature all the time.
That's what the universes above and below us say too!
As above, so below
"Quod est superius est sicut quod inferius, et quod inferius est sicut quod est superius."
"That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above."
First time I heard of this, super neat, thanks for sharing. Found a good article here:

God doesn't play dice but he sure does repeat the same tune. I believe this same pattern is observable in our brains when neurons fire is it not?
There's probably some math which explains the consistency of the pattern.
What is the average length of something very small (Plank length, electron penis, whatever) and the biggest thing (observable universe distance, actual universe length) ?
Hopefully around 6 inches otherwise I'm screwed
Around here we use the metric system. You've been downgraded to 6 cm
what's the small one?
The little '3' at the bottom right. That's where the turtles live
I think the top is the small one because you zoom in really far on small things in rectangles. And the bottom is the universe because it's a distorted view of a sphere, like our full view around us.
Atoms.
