Consider: Crystal formation. So much to learn from each stage. All humans can ever do is recreate what has already happened, in some form, in nature. This is perhaps the hardest concept for some folks to grasp—but the easiest concept in reach.pic.twitter.com/6WKUDuq2v3

What I find fascinating about this animation is that the crystal initially forms in an asymmetric pattern and yet it ends up being a symmetrical shape. Why? It’s almost like it has its own DNA for its final shape.

It's being played back in reverse. That's not at all how a snowflake forms.

Brandon, this has not been my direct empirical experience. I have seen 1000s of specimens that are the same or similar. It is perhaps possible that loop may have been in reverse. But 1000s of others show just as astounding growth.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czmQ2_ymaOo …
