The science of chaos informs us that the small is like the large.  We notice the patterns of the edges of leaves seem to match the patterns of the branches of the trees that they inhabit.  We have been applying this to the behavior of the biological and social systems.  Sometimes the behavior of the stock market over a few days matches the behavior over a few months.   Now with current theories (string, loop, etc.) we have shown the behavior of quarks (a particle that comprises the proton) may influence the behavior of matter at a much larger scale. An example is that the spin of a hurricane seems to match the spin of a galaxy in space.  How does the small mimic the large?
