Geometry in Nature

Geometry in nature refers to the recurring shapes, patterns, and proportions that appear naturally around us. These include the symmetry of flowers, the hexagonal cells of a honeycomb, spirals in shells and galaxies, and the fractal patterns in snowflakes and coastlines. Such forms often arise from physical laws and optimization processes, like maximizing strength or efficiency. Recognizing these geometric patterns helps us understand natural structures and their functions, revealing an intrinsic order and harmony present across diverse biological and physical systems.
