The hidden geometry

 Hello everyone!

I hope you are well, this morning I have been researching about the geometry that we can find inside exotic fruits, I found an article made in 2015, where Professor Alexandr Khrapichev captured a series of images through magnetic resonance imaging for a programme called The Crunch of the Wellcome Trust organisation. The Oxford University professor captured multiple photographs of tomatoes, carambolas, kiwis and other exotic fruits and vegetables to show the geometry hidden within.

The images show each fruit virtually sliced in axial and sagittal planes, using magnetic resonance technology. In this way we can see inside the food without cutting it, and appreciate the "sacred geometry" in it. This refers to the shapes that exist in nature and the mathematical principles that can be found in it.

Here is a sagittal view of a tomato with the seeds visible inside,  and the axial view of the same fruit:

    This is the sagittal view of a kiwi fruit:

After looking the photographs in this article it is incredible how students can learn about the geometry of a fruit from a virtual point of view, using technology to see the mathematical content, thus encouraging interest in geometry and seeing the importance it has in our lives.

I hope you enjoy this blog as me, see you soon!!😉
