Rose petals' unique shapes come from stress during growth. Differential growth and mechanical stresses create curled edges. Research shows petals violate a mathematical condition, causing stress.
If you take away your human perspective and simply look at everything, the whole existence is just complex geometry; it is just shapes. If I look at a tree, the most significant aspect of the tree for ...
Circles, triangles and squares. One of the first things we learn as children are basic geometric shapes. And they stay with us throughout our lives. Maybe it’s that sense of familiarity that makes ...
