Mystery of the Human Body: Proof Existence Isn’t Random

Your existence isn’t random—and the mysteries of the human body are proof. Uncover all the secrets in this Friday Night Live episode with Rob from Edge of Wonder.

But the further up you go in size—and the further down you go, too—creation becomes one big, mysterious fractal of smaller objects precisely reflecting larger ones in the universe. Celestial bodies like planets in space, the human body on Earth, and subatomic particles in smaller dimensions have bizarre connections we’re only just beginning to discover. And it all points to amazing conclusions about humanity itself you’ll have to see to believe.
