APAD: Nature is pleased with simplicity

Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy” ― Isaac Newton

"Nature is pleased with simplicity" suggests that the natural world favors simple, elegant, and efficient solutions over unnecessarily complex ones, that the universe operates with the least amount of effort needed to explain its phenomena.

Nature, in its purest form, operates effortlessly and harmoniously with simplicity as its guiding principle. The intricate ecosystems, the rhythmic cycles of seasons, and the unspoken language of flora and fauna all adhere to a simple yet profound order. It is in the minimalistic design of a flower, the efficiency of a beehive, or the symmetry of a snowflake that we witness the beauty that arises from simplicity.

I always wondered what Newton was thinking when he discovered the law of universal gravitation? Some say that he got the theory by observing one apple falling. But in reality, he probably had been thinking about it for a long time, and was perhaps inspired by the action of that apple. 

The world has changed so much since Newton's time, but I believe Mother Nature is still the same, she still prefers simplicity over complexity.

I would like to share this nice piece of writing as the conclusion of today's APAD:

Sometimes we feel that we have just reconnected with a truth we’ve always known and that if we could just know more about it, our life would be delightful and rich. I call it reconnection with your soul. It takes letting go of many of the things that clutter our lives in the hectic busyness of the modern world.

Mother Nature? but she provides essential resources&services

想起了美国农场主的Right to repair运动。美国农民曾经可以自己维修农机,但John Deere 把机器做得越
移花接木
来越电脑化,以至于任何故障必须找厂家联网诊断,非常昂贵,后有人找朋友把一个配件代码破译,修好自己农机
移花接木
然后被John Deere起诉黑客行为。于是有了这场运动,几个州都裁决农民胜诉,厂家把机器做的没有必要的复杂谋取暴利
