Patterns in Nature...! :)

Hi pa..!
 
During the seemingly lazy Easter-weekend, I was completely bowled over by a gem of a short-movie inspired by the occurrence of numbers, & geometrical patterns in NATURE....made by a Spanish graphic-designer and "3D-artisan" named Cristóbal Vila...
 

The movie so elegantly depicts the beautiful manifestations of  :
 

1) The Fibonacci series & the (logarithmic) spiral,
2) The Golden ratio & the (related) Golden angle, and
3) The Delaunay Triangulation, & the Voronoi tessellations/tilings...
 

Before you feel overwhelmed &/or bored by all the esoteric stuff I just mentioned, 

I urge you to please take some time off...to watch the movie with your dear friends...and let me know..
 

The movie is -- Nature By Numbers, & it is available at :- http://vimeo.com/9953368
 

And a separate link to  Cristóbal Vila's personal site, which has a lucidly illustrated text on the mathematical theory behind the movie is :- http://www.etereaestudios.com/docs_html/nbyn_htm/about_index.htm
 

Kudos to you Cristóbal Vila..!! :) That is absolutely brilliant in deed..!

That's all fer now...

I shall look forward to hearing frem YOU...regarding how you liked this little gem, & also about the phenomena there in...(like the Sunflower heads, and most amazing of all fer me, even the seemingly random patterns on the Wings of a Dragon Fly being nothing but Voronoi tilings...!! )



Phew....!!!!!!!!!!.... :)

Love & Best wishes,
