  • If you look at the 12 armed snowflake picture that you show in the video, you'll notice that it doesn't appear to really be a 12 branched flake, but rather 2x6 branched flakes on top of each other. It truly appears to be that one flake developed on top of the other with the branches of the one overlapping those of the other. I'll go as far as to say that I have never actually seen a water crystal "flake" that has had a basis of symmetry beyond 6.

  • @mlscrow Interesting. Thanks for posting!

  • I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge The science of snowflakes 

  • Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always The science of snowflakes

  • The way you speak is so well structured you n ur voice is very cute u should have your own show, very interesting stuff, u should check out math art :-D

  • ya that was a good yawn :P

  • I need to learn about crystallization now

  • Nice Video but entropy doesn't decrease when water freezes, It cant. you might wont to brush up on your laws of thermodynamics, but cool video. Thanks.

  • @DouglasASean DNA and proteins are 'impossible' because there is a decrease in entropy when they form, as is the Haber process that makes the ammonia, among other things. Free energy = change in enthalpy minus (change in entropy multiplied by temperature). A decrease in temperature or increase in enthalpy can offset an increase in entropy. The second law says free energy increases not that enthalpy or entropy increase. From what I can gather Entropy can also locally decrease.

  • @unassumption Ahh?.. the second law states entropy can not decrease in a closed thermodynamic system, properly defining what constitutes a closed thermodynamic system is the key, that is true when referring to how snow flakes are created or how complex DNA structures such as ourselves are created, what you can be sure of is if something exists than it is possible and in the processes of its creation overall entropy increased, Also I am not interested in a debated on AbioGenesis V Creationism.

  • @unassumption Surely you see the logical inconstancy in the statement "DNA in impossible"?

  • @DouglasASean

    it IS impossible - if you think the entropy of the system has to decrease in any process, not total entropy. I was trying to point out how complex molecules (We know exist, like DNA) show that overly broad picture to be wrong. Snowflakes are like DNA, local regions of low entropy made by releasing energy from bonds and such, right?

  • @DouglasASean

    wait are you saying entropy can never decrease even in a local system (obviously implied in the video) or that entropy doesn't decrease when water freezes? i assumed you were talking about the former maybe you meant the latter i'm not sure if it decreases locally on freezing it probaly does since more things are linked together (less microstates than free molecules of water?) but ...don't know

  • yes, the pause at 40 seconds occurs but thanks to your note, got through it fine.

  • Neat! Keeps cutting out on me~

  • @nicholhawking thanks! it is so frustrating cause i spent a fair amount of time making this video... and as soon as i uploaded it .. this happened.

    anyway thanks for watching!! :)
