Nature has many mysteries which at times may defy reason; but most of the time, there is logic, conviction and sureness in Nature. One of the mysteries of Nature is in the field of Mathematics. Does Nature know its Mathematics?
If you watch all the heavenly bodies of the Universe, you will observe that they are all round in shape. The sun, the moon, the earth, planets of the solar system are all floating bodies, round in shape, in a vast round expanse, in a round black hole called the Universe. Why is it so? Yes, because roundness represents life and flatness represents death! A baby is born in a round sack inside the stomach of its mother. The most important of the baby is its head, which is mysteriously round, the fingers and toes of the baby are round and there is a round neck fixed on top of the torso of the body.
Then, have you observed the games people play? A cricket ball, a basket ball, a football, a tennis ball, a carrom striker, colored balls on a billiards table………all these objects are round in shape. Why? Because, Mathematics is involved in each of these objects. How?
Have you observed the shape of veggies & fruits?..............apples, oranges, watermelons, brinjals, potatoes, onions, cabbage, lotus stems………the list is endless. All these commodities are round, because there is life in roundness. The diameter and the circumference of any round object is working on the principle of Mathematics. The circumfderence of any round object is a little more than 3 times its diameter. This unique fact was discovered by a brilliant mathematician, Archimedes around 200 B.C. Archimedes was born in the Greek city state of Sicily in the year 287 B.C. to 212/211.In fact,Archimedes died while working on some formula of a circle.It was war time in Sicily,the rampaging enemy soldiers had invaded the city.Archimedes was sitting on the ground with a compass in his hand and a circle was drawnwith a chalk on the ground.As the soldiers surrounded him,he uttered...."TAKE MY HEAD BUT NOT MY CIRCLE" The soldiers assumed him to be an enemy and they killed him on the spot.If Archimedes was alive to-day,we would have known more of his innovative mathematics. The calculation of the above problem gave rise to a Greek letter (π), which was first used by a Welsh Mathematician, William Jones. But, now a little known mathematician, a caferati member has come up with a new theory that this letter (π) is available in the circle itself, which looks more authentic than the Greek symbol (π). More info is available on the blog of Google knoll.
Next, go to a calm pond in your locality; pick up a small stone and drop it into the pond. What do you see? Watch the spreading rings appear in the pond. If you measure its diameter and its circumference, you will see that pi (π) is very much involved. So, you cannot make any round object without the fixed formula of π working on it. Then, there is a disc drive in to-day’s computers, an apparatus that turns the disc on a computer, while data are recorded or retrieved. All these round objects are working in tune with mathematics and π is very much present in each of these objects.
Observe a nucleus of an egg, a seed, head of a sperm; all are round, creative and life giving, where mathematics is involved in all these miracle objects. Hence without roundness, you can never proceed in life; there will be death and destruction without roundness.
And, what about money? Real money is not paper currency, but the sound of tinkle created by round coins falling on the ground………maybe a dollar, a dime, a ruble, a rupee, an eight Anna coin, or a five rupee coin. So, here again, mathematics is involved in making these coins!
Now, hear this unusual logic. Even flatness is created from roundness and not vice versa. You can easily draw a square or a rectangle in a circle; but you cannot draw a circle in a square or a rectangle touching the entire circumference of the circle; its impossible. Even a triangle(meaning flatness) can be drawn in a circle (meaning roundness) taking its diameter as its base and taking half its diameter as its radius. But, can you draw a circle in a triangle? You can, but it won’t touch its entire circumference. Think of a page, a book, ruler, rubber(eraser); a page or a book contains paper, where round trees are involved, a rubber is from round plantation trees grown in Malaysia. What about Xerox printing machines, where the roller is round in shape.
In making a round object, try making a circumference 4 times its diameter; can you make it? ……….. No way. The diameter and the circumference will only match the formula pi (π) as ordained by Nature.
Lastly, you must have seen a dead body of any human, animal, bird, insect or maybe a plant; these turn flat after life is sucked out from within, proving that flatness is death.
So, there you are; Mathematics is all the time working in Nature!
