Renowned physicist Professor Brian Cox recently lent his voice to explain the complex science behind snowflakes in a stop-motion paper animation for The Royal Society. Explaining their unique beauty, Cox revealed that gravity guides their descent, electromagnetism shapes their hexagonal forms, and symmetry captures the human brain’s fascination.
Highlighting the universal laws governing snowflakes’ structure, Cox drew parallels with celestial bodies, emphasizing the inherent connections in the cosmos. The pleasing symmetry of snowflakes, each being radially symmetrical, resonates with the human brain’s appreciation for order and balance.
In a surprising revelation, Cox debunked the myth that snowflakes are white. Clear in reality, the multitude of edges within their intricate designs scatters light, creating the illusion of a pristine white appearance.
