We still know so __little__ about the workings of the universe, the world, & the human body. Amazing.

  It's amazing that people can add so __little__ to a conversation other than vapid platitudes. Amazing. And so I can be a little less pedantic, if you read the article, you would have seen that scientists have known about this for decades. So please only speak for yourself when you talk about how much you don't know.

  Nature has a preference, for wont of a better word, to certain shapes. Here is a quickly found link on the subject of hexagons and nature. http://nautil.us/issue/35/boundaries/why-nature-prefers-hexagons http://nautil.us/issue/35/boundaries/why-nature-prefers-hexa... If you blow a bunch of bubbles, those in the middle of the bubble pile will naturally tend to form into hexagonal shapes. Nature is full of them. Nature is also full of things like the Fibonacci sequence. It's really quite fascinating. But, yes, we still have a lot to learn about the universe. If the science were complete, we'd no longer need scientists. I think that assuming we know it all, or even that our understanding is correct, is hubris and vanity.

    This is the same reason why bees create a hexagonal honeycomb and also I think the reasoning for the structure in a fly's eye.
