Every singular system is composed of many other small systems or is itself a part of a larger one. And they all follow the same rules, repeating themselves over and over again. If we go to the most fundamental level of physics, we observe that we are all made of the same quantum fields and atoms obeying the same fundamental laws. In a sense, our reality is merely an infinite reiteration of the same phenomena. Continue reading
