In other words, our successful theories are not mathematics approximating physics, but mathematics approximating mathematics.

 

Many forms observed in nature can be related to geometry (for sound reasons of resource optimization). For example, the [[chambered nautilus]] grows at a constant rate and so its shell forms a [[logarithmic spiral]] to accommodate that growth without changing shape. Also, [[honeybee]]s construct hexagonal cells to hold their honey. These and other correspondences are seen by believers in sacred geometry to be further proof of the cosmic significance of geometric forms. But scientists generally see such phenomena as the logical outcome of natural principles.
