That’s a cool observation. The way a tree’s branches split follows a kind of fractal pattern, and the same math can describe how stars spiral out from the center of a galaxy. Both systems grow by adding small pieces that repeat the same basic shape, so the big picture looks similar. It’s not a secret code, but a reminder that nature likes to reuse the same efficient patterns on vastly different scales. Keep tracing that bark—it’s like looking at a miniature galaxy right on the trunk.
