About 25 years ago, in Rome, I've seen pictures (and movies) taken
by prof. Cohen (?) (I do not remember his name properly, he worked in
Israel) about what he called chemio-tactic patterns. *Organic* compounds
(put together) behaved *exactly* like cosmic matter, forming spinning
bodies and spiral arms. Somebody asked if he was able to guess some
relation, some meaning. His reply was "mathematics and thermodynamics".
Perhaps also evolution?
