No Two Snowflakes Are Exactly Alike

[Modeps]

There's a lot of snow outside right now... I would like a scientist to come examine every snowflake please. kthnx.

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.

The American Meteorological Society has reported that matching snow crystals were discovered in Wisconsin in 1988 by Nancy Knight of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.[citation needed] The crystals were not flakes in the usual sense but rather hollow hexagonal prisms.

What about my clones in my clone army I am about to unleash upon the world?

How can you be sure?

Just think about the different configurations of all the electrons and protons and neutrons that produce something. What are the chances that all the subatomic particles of say, two exact pencils, are exactly arranged the same?

Even just by random chance, I'm sure there's a coupe that are the same...

At the very least, the immune systems will have differences, probably different fingerprints and (IIRC) different patterns of sulci in the brain.

it is hard to fathom.. then again no two people are alike or ever will be either.

We're not talking about complex systems here, we're talking snowflakes... simple ice crystals.

Please save all your snowflakes.
I can make there next tuesday.

Will do, they'll be out on my lawn. To repay you, I will make you Chicken Marsala.

Just because someone else said it, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

Im sorry, thats just too much wasted time on their hands to actually LOOK for matching snowflakes. I hope our tax dollars dont help fund this.

The truth often does that.

crystallization is not a simple science, however. While it is thermodynamically supported, the specific growth is left to chance. Many crystals, like snowflakes grow from seeds. In the air, the "seeds" are all different yielding different snowflakes. Also, the growth mechanism is not fully understood in terms the balance between nucleation and growth of crystal. Additionally, inclusion of defects is random and growth conditions are transient. This leads to no two crystals being identical in every sense, since even when some control is brought to crystal grwoth (in the lab for example) no two crystals are identical.

That and they aren't going to be standing in the same position at the same point in time therefore are not exactly like.

Haha, Tigger & Pooh was the first thing I thought of when I read the title. She watches it everyday.
