It just happens to be configured in such a way that it's electrical signals form a massively parallel signal infrastructure.  Hence why we continue to expend about 10% of our body energy supporting our pudding.

Can you therefore consider that when I move my finger, then entire universe feels both electrical and gravitational change?  I would argue that that is how one might interpolate that everything is connected.

When your mind is too pliable, you learn anything anyone's willing to feed you.  Having someone tell you "your model of the universe is hogwash - and here's why" is a service.  Sorry I don't do it with a smile.

There were like four people before you that disagreed with me.  All of them did it without name calling.  Correction is taken much better when you don't talk down to the person you are correcting.  Furthermore, mocing and jesting does not propote intellectual conversation, but incites an emotional response.  In keeping an open mind, I know that I don't know everything, and I'm always open for correction.  But because I am a person of principle I will never allow anyone to talk down to me.  Period.  You understand?
