How can snowflake scientists be so sure that "no two snowflakes are exactly alike"?
I think the most tantallizing mysteries to me are the mysteries of nature. We received an inch or two of snowfall recently--the kind that coats the branches of the trees and makes everything glittery-white. I particularly love when this kind of snowstorm comes through during the night so that, in the morning, the snow is untouched except for a few animal tracks that we can go out and try to identify.
I find it amazing and somewhat mysterious that each snowflake could be unique. Maybe the snowflakes would say the same about us--how could it be possible that no two humans are exactly the same? They all look the same. Especially those identical twins.
But even identical twins don't have identical fingerprints. I guess no matter how much alike two people or two snowflakes look, there are always differences that we can't see. Maybe each snowflake also falls differently or melts differently. Somehow, thinking about this concept makes me feel unique and special. The world seems so peaceful while the snow is falling.
