Geometry in the nature

In order to see the importance of geometry in our lives, we can see that is is present everywhere. If we observe our surroundings we can see geometric figures in different environments as, for example,  in the nature. Here we can see some examples:

The circular and spherical forms abound in nature, we can see flowers, fruits, celestial bodies, among many other things that adopt these forms, but it is difficult, not to say impossible, to find in nature objects or living organisms that adopt forms perfectly square or triangular.

The bees do not know that the hexagon is the perfect form for the construction of the cells that form the honeycomb, if we look for efficient forms the circle would be the perfect form, this form is precisely what the bees build, but they do not do it because it is the most efficient way for their purposes, they raise it because it is one of the easiest figures to build.

Here we have two images of different honeycombs, clearly you can notice that the comb cells on the right are much more hexagonal than their counterparts on the left that tend to be more circular.

The laws of physics give us the answer, as suggested by the figure on the left, bees build their cells in a circular way. When being together of others and when being the wax in a quasifluid state while the bees revolve on a fixed point to give to the cell the adhesion force cause that the cells (circles) take the form hexagonal.

In nature we can find different geometric shapes, in the figure we observe flowers with a star shape.

All forms present in nature can be associated with abstract ideas (existing only in the mind of the thinker), as we can interpret in this tree (with the form of a triangle) or a flower (with the form of a pentagon).

If you look around you and observe carefully, you will find a lot of geometric forms in your environment, being in the nature or in the day to day in the city.
