Scottie Pinwheel


We know that a highly repetitive pattern displays order but not information. In nature, that’s the difference between salt crystals, on one hand, and DNA on the other. So analyzed in terms of information theory, this video isn’t very informative. Be that as it may, the lady who made it is a genius. She achieves her result with these cute little Scottie dogs by the mere application of goat milk as a catalyst. Enjoy.
