      You should also consider that with a rectangular package, for example a frame, you would need to use more material to make a hexagon big enough to fit it rather than a simple box. I would appreciate paper shavings rather than plastic bubbles and a smaller version of envelope, my new phone charger doesn't need an envelope bigger than a piece of printer paper

    • @ShadeShockGaming
      @ShadeShockGaming 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wouldn't the most likely solution just be that the storm is so large its creating it's own separate climate inside and the edges are acting like walls to the storm? This would partly explain why they might go into a hexagonal shape.

      Math helps us understand our environment, like how a language is used to share thoughts, but I wouldn't say it IS a real element of nature. A type of foundation was needed, one easy to understand as a universal language, culture to culture. I think we made math into a beautiful world of its own, through our continuous use to structure life in general. But regardless of beliefs, I think very highly of the art in math. 🙂

      Saturn's hexagon(which is only at the north pole) is caused by standing wave interference and vorticity. It is unrelated to this. For example, Jupiter's north pole has an octogon of 8 storms, and it's south pole a pentagon of 5 storms. Jupiter's polar vortices are constructed differently than Saturn's northern vortex, but the principles are similar.

    @The_Unholy_Nerd 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Chemist here! Hexagons are the most stable structure in the chemical world too. Benzene (and other cyclic compounds involving hexagons) are very common in nature. Look up the molecule of testosterone to think of one quick example. Hexagons are everywhere in natural molecules. The reason is that the binding energy (the energy required to make certain shapes of molecules) and the bond stress (how much elastic force is on a bond) is at it's minimum when the shape is a hexagon. If you have cyclopropane (think triangle), then the stress on each carbon atom is immense. The ideal bond angle is 109.47 degrees. If you try and force atoms that are happy at 109.47 degrees to an angle of 60 degrees, you're going to have to put *a lot* of energy in. Methane adopts a structure with each Hydrogen at 109.47 degrees from each other relative to the Carbon. That's just one carbon atom. When more carbon atoms are involved, the shape with the closest internal angle to 109.47 is the hexagon with 120, so that is the shape that forms most in nature. You do get some pentagons, like in DNA bases, but most of organic chemistry is hexagons!
