They found God's fart?

Looks like a wet one.

Guys, it's amoeba-like because it is one! Just like every human can be likened to a 'cell' in the 'organism' that is earth, every galaxy is like a cell in that big amoeba! Fractals! Every piece, no matter what size, has the whole inside it! Inside subatomic particles? The universe again!
