Incomprehensible beauty... godlike perfection

Jorath Calar · 01-13-2003, 01:29 PM

No, this is not a Yorik appreciation thread... [img]smile.gif[/img]

But just take a look at this page with microscopic pictures of snowflakes... it's almost scary how perfect some of them are.

And I'm wondering... if such order can exsist in natures creation, doesn't it prove the chaos theory wrong?

weird... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Of course it´s not! How nice of you to dedicate a thread to me JC.

But doesn´t snow flakes prove the chaos theory?? I can never remember the physics from high school.

They are quite exquisite though.

Not at all, Jorath. Chaos theory by its very nature has proven that chaos produces order of a supernatural beauty. Chaos and Order thus support and define each other; I doubt one could have one without the other. [img]smile.gif[/img] Fractal theory has borne this out as well.

And those ARE magnificent! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Most matter will turn out beautiful if the conditions allow it to form perfect crystals.

Some of the advanced organic compounds such as hormones or enzymes form extremely beautiful crystals too.
