There’s a theory called Eternal Return which means that everything in this world repeats itself and it can happen an infinite number of times. So, if you’re attentive enough you can always find similarities and repetitions right as you’re flipping through your family album. Users from all over the world share their unexpected findings, which prove that there are things that never change.

We at the Bright Side have collected the most impressive photos which tell us the story of eternal return, each in its own way.

1. A daughter (age 11 in 2019) and her dad (age 15 in 1996) will clearly show you what recursion means.

2. Wait, who’s the mother in the second pic?

Yeah, they were smart. I know people who live to buy beds for their pets as they grow which is kind of silly
