The simple complex honeycomb that has inspired so many inventions, technologies and engineering. Great article, loved it‼️ thanks. Oh and shark skin that changed the olympics forever by utilizing its design and form in swimsuit technology to break world records. 🥰
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the article. I wanted to include both honeycomb structures and shark skin innovations, but there were so many amazing examples to choose from... it was tough to decide!
Leonardo created a spiral staircase in marble that absolutely mimics a nautilus shell. I would love to climb those stairs. In his sketchbooks he records his curiosity and his conclusions. I don’t believe Leonardo saw himself as a part from nature, but as a part of nature; fascinated by what he saw and applying what he’d observed to solve other kinds of problems: rendering three dimensional objects on a two dimensional plane; catching the likeness of an individual by studying how it differed from the theoretical perfect. If he were to be born today, he’d still be ahead of his time.
I really enjoyed reading about the Tower being designed around the femur bone ..
As a child growing up ,I spent time in my Fathers Clinic where he had an x-ray screen .He was looking at lungs . I immediately saw tree's . Oxygen from tree's and lungs needing what the tree could provide us humans blew my little child mind . I never looked back . I saw Biomimicry in every thing I saw in nature ..
A few years ago I learnt about the fabric industry copying the mechanic's of butterfly wings and how they are rain repellant ..Water doesn't touch the wings for long enough to damage them due to light fractuals and vibration ..Water hovvers just above the wings and then drops away ...
And crash helmets designed using woodpecker bone structures .
The Army are incorporating textiles that can become invisible to the environment around them by mimicking animals like the chameleon .
I studies patterns in nature 30 years ago ....and now I'm studying Water . Structured internal bio water,Fourth phase water ...Our bodies are structuring devices . Our heart is like the dna sequence and the cymantics of sound spiralling ..It doesn't pump .It vortex's our blood just like rivers in nature ..
I'm an Ominist ... There is no beginning seperation between us and nature and our nature and the Omniverse ...We are all patterns .All fractuals spiralling through non linear time which is also spiralling ...The infinite Beauty of Patterns in All Life .
I would love to hear a piece on What is beauty? How can something so subjective and personal be defined for the majority? My apologies if you’ve already written about this and I missed it.
A great essay. We might, indeed, wonder why nature is so well calibrated; why it offers so many insights, and solutions to our needs. According to the evolutionary principle, everything results from blind random chance, yet this stands at odds with experimental (as in actual) science which shows that the possibilities of random changes resulting in beneficial improvements to organisms are considerably worse than nil. And that, even with the most generous assumptions, there hasn't been nearly enough time in the whole history of the universe to account for the rich complexity and beauty of the world around us. (And within us as well, for that matter.) There is overwhelming evidence of design in nature, and not just casual witless design either but design of the very highest and best quality imaginable. When will we dare to acknowledge the obvious truth that it came by the hand of an intelligent and loving designer?

I think you chose well. That was one of the best articles I’ve read in I don’t know how long. Thank You!!!🙏💛
