String Theory Explains The Wiring Of A Brain’s Neurons

I spend my nights with galaxies,
with spirals of fire and frozen light,
mapping the curvature of space
where time itself bends and listens.

Yet when I turn my telescope inward,
toward the small universe behind the eyes,
I find the same geometry at work—
the same quiet architecture of wonder.

Neurons stretch like cosmic filaments,
dark-matter threads of living thought,
webbing the mind the way gravity
laces the heavens together.

String theory tells us the cosmos hums,
that every particle is a vibration,
a note played on an invisible string
tuned at the birth of everything.

So I imagine the brain as a starfield,
each synapse a trembling constellation,
each memory a resonance
echoing from the first light.

The universe learns itself through us—
through these brilliant cords of mind and matter,
where physics becomes thought
and starlight remembers how to dream.
