Honeycomb


A honeycomb is a mass of hexagonal waxcells built byhonet bees in their nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen.
The axes of honeycomb cells are always quasi-horizontal, and the non-angled rows of honeycomb cells are always horizontally (not vertically) aligned. Thus, each cell has two vertical walls, with "floors" and "ceilings" composed of two angled walls. The cells slope slightly upwards, between 9 and 14 degrees, towards the open ends.
The closed ends of the honeycomb cells are also an example of geometric efficiency.

A fractal is a geometric object that is repeated in its structure the same on different scales, or that aspect does not change even if seen with a magnifying glass. This feature is often called self similarity.The regular flow on different scales becomes irregular.

Total eclipse of Sun: irregular phenomenon

Thales was born in what's now Turkey, in the city of Miletus, about 630 BC, during the Archaic period.
He understood that the earth was round, and that the moon was lit by light reflecting from the sun. According to Herodotus, in 585 BC Thales was the first person to successfully predict an eclipse of the sun (an eclipse which ended a war between the Lydians and the Persians).

The regularity of nature becomes irregular in society

NATURAL VS OGM: In the agricultural world are fruits or vegetables such as tomatoes that follow the rules of nature and for this reason they have irregular shapes, while in the industrial society is now easy to find tomatoes that have been genetically modified, but breaking the rules of natural forms are perfectly regular.
TWO WAYS TO LIVE TIME: the concept of time and its use depends on who is experienced: in fact the life of a farmer is regulated by the seasons, the passing of time and day in the country follows the rules of nature, while the day of a urban man follows the clock that is an artificial time that we consider irregular than the first.
