Though now extinct, ammonoids (a group of marine mollusks with shells) evolved for 350 million years, always with a tendency toward increasingly elaborate shell structures. Scientists have studied ...

We’re finding infinitely complex, self-similar shapes all over creation. And we’re just getting started. The world is full of beautiful geometry. It’s something we start teaching our youngest children ...
