Are we all connected? Mathematically, yes. It might seem like a stretch, but all living organisms on earth are connected by a unified theory. The more into the (metaphor alert) nuts and bolts of it all, the more science is finding just how connected we all are by way of energy and resources being supplied to cells—and by a methodology known as quarter scaling. The larger something is the longer it lives. Let’s say there’s a dog that is 500 times bigger than a mouse: in essence, we can then estimate that the dog’s lifespan will be about 125 times greater than the mouse. An elephant’s heart beats a lot slower than a human’s heart, but our hearts beat slower than a mouse and a dog. It’s all interconnected!
