Transcript

Creating hexagons is very simple, because hexagons are actually built into the structure of reality, if you will, I'm just going to draw a circle on this line and another identical circle next to it and an additional one. So we have three equally sized circles. Each one has its center on the other ones edge, I can go ahead and draw in the hexagon directly. That results in a hexagon which is inscribed within the central circle. But what if we wanted to make a hexagon based on a given edge length? I'll just go back to the point where we have just two circles.

And then I'll add additional circles all with the same radius forming this seed of life pattern. And that is based on this edge length, which is the width of the original vesica viscous form. And then I can just connect the dots and we have a hexagon there. So hexagons are really part of structure. You'll find them in snowflakes and honeycombs, perhaps because it gives you the strongest form for the minimum amount of material.
