Look at that intricate geometric shape. There's no way that could just naturally form. It had to be created intentionally by a designer.

Thanks to global cooling we're going to see more of these every year.

Truly, the beauty of God's creation is everywhere.

you should read "a new kind of science" of stefan wolfram, it deal with that kind of question (mostly on cellular automata) and it freely and legaly aviable on the internet: http://www.wolframscience.com/nksonline/toc.html

Seriously, why is that flake so symmetrical and perfect? Isn't it created in a chaotic system?

>>Seriously, why is that flake so symmetrical and perfect?

Go do a google image search of what a water molecule looks like. Then do a search for what the molecular structure of ice looks like.

The answer will become painfully obvious.

Saturn's north pole is a giant hexagon.

Hexagons are like the artist's signature of nature. Pictured is the compound eye of a krill.

It's a simple property of rotating fluids, at a huge scale. (each side of the hexagon is wider than earth)

Look at it. That's a real image taken by the Cassini probe.

There's a giant, perfect hexagon at its north pole.

It was there when Pioneer II visited in 1979. They thought it was a temporary anomaly, but when Cassini flew by twenty-five years later it was still there.

Any mathematicians here? 6 is my favorite number :3
It's so perfect, it is both the sum and product of the first 3 counting numbers. It's also present everywhere and nearly everything important is divisible by 6; 60sec, 60 min, 24 hours, 360 degrees in a circle, etc. Hexagons are cool too.

7 was here, 6 is a faggot.

I bet you love getting evenly divided you little whore.

>dat hexagon

A stable cloud pattern.
Not a trivial subject.

Canorm that.

>>2392547
so, what the fuck is a hexagon doing on saturn?
is it there because of magnetick forces?

>>2392560
We all know Saturns Hexagon is just an a side effect of the prior artifact stored there.

it is possible to draw hexagons.

>>2392505
Hah, you may be unaware, but your usage of "perfect" was more correct than you might know. 6 is a "perfect number" for the reasons you listed.

>artifact stored there

You mean a TransDimensional Atomic Remolecularizer (TDARM)? But that's Oak Island, not Saturn.

Though 4th density physics may be a clue here.

>>2392505
73 is the perfect number. Sheldon has spoken.
