A bit of imperfection could be perfect for flowers creating a “blue halo” effect that bees can see. At least a dozen families of flowering plants, from hibiscuses to daisy relatives, have a species or more that can create a bluish-ultraviolet tinge using arrays of nanoscale ridges on petals, an international research team reported in October 18, 2017 in Nature. These arrays could be the first shown to benefit from the “sloppiness” of natural fabrication, says coauthor Silvia Vignolini, a physicist specializing in nanoscale optics at the University of Cambridge. [1] Look around. Everything you see is imperfect. And the only reason you see them is because you are imperfect too. We live in a perfect world. Cast out from the imperfect cosmos God built for us. Now everything is neat and perfectly arranged. Now “laws” govern everything. And yet we once used to be alive. With no laws. Just with the imperfect love of an imperfect – thus perfect – Father…
