It is the sweeping simplicity of Nature’s means that overwhelms with a sense of awe. This is what makes nature beautiful… the simplicity of the materials which make so many patterns, the unity under the surface chaos. Unity is the scientist’s definition of beauty, and it makes Nature beautiful to him/her all of his/her life.
J. Bronowski
