sorry, I don't know how to list links otherwise.

Very cool --- yet another instance of the DNA strand/spiral image showing up in nature. I thought the picture was amazing.

cool. This micro/macrocosm exists seemingly everywhere in nature (the golden spiral??). I'll try dig up some more links for you.

Does everybody think it'll be okay if I move this thread to the Laboratory?

And sorry to ruin your bubble, that's not a DNA strand type of shape.It's actually a circle seen from the side. Kind of like an uneven flapjack seen from the side.

You're right, but hey, even an uneven flapjack seen from the side looks that twisty spiral thing! :P

The uneven flapjack symbolizes the flux of the universe and the approach to entropy as the uneven flapjack nears the stomach. :cool:

Got to admit it... I don't see a helix either. Anyone got some better pix of this?
