The Number of Cells in Your Body Align with A Mysterious Pattern in Nature
This pattern is found throughout nature, and curiously, language.
Know what’s cool? Nature. I mean, if you think about it, everything traces back to nature. Some might even argue that nature is everything. Nature is life and everything that comes with it, in every shape and form it takes. But nature is also everything else, from the weather to the workings of Outer Space. Nature even has its own language, which we call math. Nature can be easily experienced but has layers of complexity. For all its variations in form, all things in nature share one thing — cycles.
Patterns and cycles are found literally everywhere in nature. They come in all shapes, sizes, and time frames. Some are obvious, like seasonal changes or day and night. Those two examples alone then influence a whole swath of other cycles, from plant life to animal behavior, including our sleep cycles. Then there are the nearly invisible cycles that are far less obvious and explainable — such as why there are spirals everywhere in nature. Now, researchers have linked the cells that make up our bodies to another pattern in nature — one that experts have noticed but can’t explain or even fully name.
