if you look at fractals, they’re these shapes that repeat at every scale right so what if the entire universe is just one giant fractal pattern repeating on different scales like we’re stuck in this infinite loop of recursion where everything we see is just a zoomed-in version of something bigger and even the smallest atom mirrors the largest galaxies we can see so maybe time, space, and even our very lives are just part of this cosmic fractal that keeps going forever with no real beginning or end
