Mathematics

 It’s not that well understood that mathematics is at the root of understanding the universe. The laws of physics. The search for the black hole. The measure of force, speed and growth. Chaos. Air travel. Engineering. All of it.

Geometry, a branch of mathematics, is the basis for nature’s architecture. Planetary movement. Spiral galaxies. Structure of plants and flowers. Phyllotaxis. Molecular and atomic structure. The double spiral of DNA. And symmetry everywhere.

All of it is right there. How is it possible to study mathematics and geometry in school for 10 years or more and not know this?
