The Mathematics of Sea Shells

Sea Shells have a simple pattern that occurs in many natural phenomena. Derek Moulton explains.

[@brandib.8232]

I'm becoming obsessed with sea shells as of late. Thank you for doing this research!

[@erick_R.]

Hahaha same here

[@IndoonaOceans]

Brilliant - tackles a difficult subject simply and asks probing specific questions

[@wolololer]

exactly, real aplications to math, instead of some crazy dimensional theories with random equations to prove and disprove already fictional dimensional realities

[@christophachermann2659]

Thank you for sharing your work with the community. It is truly inspiring! Sadly my kids don't yet speak english so they just understand the language of the pictures.

[@NatureGloseScience]

I've had a strong affinity for maths and how they relate to the natural world. I believe that if we could teach math's relationship ALONGSIDE connections it has in nature, math education would be world better in grade school. Is this calculus that you're using in this video? What other maths? Mathematical biology or biomathematics? I think you said?

[@Steve.Garrison]

I like to think of it as organic geometry.

[@LostinSongs]

Great video on how mathematics help us understand the world around us!

[@Steve.Garrison]

Sea shells are beautiful!

[@Allangulon]

I live near a pristine beach and I've fallen in love with Sea Shells. Not only are they fascinating, the act of floating around looking for them is extremely cathartic!

[@williambradfordbaldwin4386]

Very interested in this! Will through out random amateur thoughts. Possible reason for external adornments-forced crystallization.

[@ImoMacalister]

Awesome! Thank you for making this accessible :)

[@ponyrang]

My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

[@williambradfordbaldwin4386]

I also wonder if any of the shell is at times in the process changed or destroyed in order to add more shell...? Is there any study on the molecular structure of the shell material that could evidence this?

[@verioffkin]

Just a wild thought poped up in my head while watching this: living creatures with all their strength try to avoid crossing itself, and at the same time they try to save energy and be in one place. That's why spiral probably may be a very common plan of building. But it's not a math thing, of course, because mathematics doesn't answer "Why" questions..

[@brienmaybe.4415]

The why is simple, just because.

Could you enable captions and add a flash warning?

[@arwa458]

Wow! Thank you!

The smartest humans in the world struggle to understand how the simplest creature makes their home. Where does intelligence reside?

[@maoriteo502]

simply created by God

[@Mr.Nefarioussness]

I mean in fractals one single shape can make a whole entire design when you keep multiplying itself, maybe there was just one specific starting design that led it to look like that?🤔 just theorizing lol

[@isaacsegura]

I´m lookig for a seashell genrator, does anyone can point me to one? i download one , is written in a very old verios of Processing and it no longer works.

[@josuerizo1]

Can it be that that snails are kind of alien, they might sence in 4d, thats why they are so weird,

[@juliekendall508]

Amazing

[@Mapl수학]

..im from sri lanka. Really interested thing you research. But think about this God(Jehovah) is mathematician. Roman 1:20-23.. explain Why are there so many complex things all over world. Because thing not evovle ..desingned by the desinger.

[@seharishrajput5299]

How we can calculate the shell mark

[@Noname-me8dx]

This is creation by GOD stop saying evolution you athiests.

[@ioandumitru528]

I am not scientiest but i say shell Murex Trochelli has a visual or fillings memory to reprezent and bild his shell like a scheletin of fish,is strange shell

[@mellonglass]

now we know the planet spirals after the sun, would this mean linearity does not exist?

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

See what happens I have sent a delegation to seal the deal, suppose walls are supposed to be broken I guess 😭

[@jarrodyuki7081]

i see.................

[@gradualuprisintheory]

🤩

[@gilmerqueque3446]

Me encanta ¡¡

[@theplacebeyondthelies2429]

the answer is The Creator. All questions answered. Men do not have to know. Just know that He knows. Trying to figure out God is a fool's game men can never win. Numbers and maths equations may give some people temporal security, but won't save you.

[@kayakMike1000]

G is for "growth tensor". Are you daft man? G is for "Galios Fields"

[@awakentruth1116]

God is AMAZING! These shells reveal His nature. If you haven't read Signature In The Cell by Stephen C. Meyer, I highly recommend it. It's official... Darwinian evolution has been fully and finally debunked!

[@marissajustice2411]

It has not been debunked tf? 😂

[@kayakMike1000]

​@eyelight3056are you sure? What if you were God but just forgot? Sure, it's a remote possibility, but to be 100% sure of something unprovable seems to be a matter of faith as much as following any religion.

Fibbinocci hidden in sea shell

[@kaseymcdowell]

They look like 3 dimensional Mandelbrot....

Design demands a designer...think about it. Order never comes from chaos.

[@_S0urR0ses_]

creating order through chaos is part of the grandmasters plan from the masons. The 33rd degree master mason Albert Pike write the book titled Morals and Dogma. Quoting him from this book. Albert Pike states ORDER OUT OF CHAOS. As in creating order by causing chaos. He also wrote about the need for 3 world wars to usher in The new World Order.

Complexity and Emergence would like to have a word

[@whiterocksecuritysolutions1711]

Amazing pictures, am selling male

[@JorgeGonzalez-fw5mf]

I can give you your answer👌🏽 the shapes are not patterns they are 👽

[@suntill1322]

Nerd!
