One Picture is Worth an Infinite Amount of Words

Take a look at this.

My Comment: Just go down the list of religions and philosophies with which you're even vaguely familiar. Isn't this picture a cornerstone of each one? In Judaism, saving one person is like saving the entire world. In Chinese philosophy, you can learn everything about the universe and never leave your own backyard. It's endless. Way back when, this was foundation of all common sense. And here it is empirically. Finally. The universe is fractal. Describe it mathematically, poetically, religiously, philosophically--it all gets down to this one picture.
