how can every single snow flake since the beginning of time be different?

Answer 1

well, thats the thing... the only way to prove that they're all different is to check every single one since the dawn of time. and they melt instantly, so you cant check them. theres not any proof that they're all different. i dont know where that idea comes from.

Answer 2

Obviously this is sheer speculation as no one has ever compared ever single snowflake to make sure there are no duplicates.

"Is it true that no two snowflakes are identical?

Yes and no. No two snowflakes are exactly identical, down to the precise number of water molecules, spin of electrons, isotope abundance of hydrogen and oxygen, etc. On the other hand, it is possible for two snowflakes to look exactly alike and any given snowflake probably has had a good match at some point in history. Since so many factors affect the structure of a snowflake and since a snowflake's structure is constantly changing in response to environmental conditions, it is improbable that anyone would see two identical snowflakes."

Answer 3

A snowflake may form and disintegrate in seconds as the freezer door closes or circle the globe aloft for centuries changing with currents, sun rays and encounters with flakes. Some in the berg the Titanic fell long before Rome was built. Their shapes vary and the structures become uncountable when the quantum level events in one flake are compared.to all others.

Answer 4

The often used phrase stating "no two snowflakes are alike" is likely true (within the age of the Earth) but not necessarily true. The odds are very much against even something as "simple" as a snowflake being reproduced exactly ... but the possibility does exist.

Answer 5

Snowflakes are formed when water vapor in the air cools and condenses into drops of water.

Each drop then freezes into a tiny ice crystal smaller than the period ( . ) at the end of this sentence.

The temperature and amount of water vapor determine the shape of snow crystals.


Snowflake crystals form when water vapor cools and freezes inside clouds.

What are common snowflake shapes and sizes?
You might be surprised to find that snowflakes are not all six-sided.
Some snow crystals form into:

Needles Hollow Columns
Sector Plates Dendrites

Guide to Different Types of Snowflakes and Other Flaky Snow Facts
There are many reasons that no two snowflakes are alike.

Factors that influence the size and shape of a snowflake are:


Air currents (which direction the air is moving)
Humidity levels (the amount of water vapor in the air)
How long it takes the crystal to fall
Wind speed
Amount of dust, salt or other solid particles in the air
Pressure from the weight of other snow crystals
Combining shapes with other snow crystals
Changes to any of these factors
How do Snowflakes Form?
Falling snow starts with precipitation
Falling snow is called "Precipitated Snow".
"Precipitate" means: to condense as a vapor and fall from the sky.
Every snow crystal starts as "precipitation".
The book: "Rain, Hail, Snow and Sleet" teaches about "precipitation".



Snowflakes are Symmetrical
Every snowflake is a collection of snow crystals.
Snowflakes can consist of only 2 snow crystals or hundreds of snow crystals.
Snow crystals are frozen water molecules which bond to each other.
Snowflakes are formed when Snow Crystals grow into tiny, sometimes microscopic, "symmetrical" shapes.
"Symmetrical" means: proportional, or having an equal number of parts.
A perfectly formed 6-sided snowflake is called "symmetrical".


Metamorphosed Snow
Every snowflake changes as it ages.
Changing snow is called "Metamorphosed Snow".
"Metamorphose" means: to change or transform into a different physical form.
Water vapor that has changed into snow crystals is "Metamorphosed snow".


No Two Snowflakes Are Exactly Alike
It's true, just like human fingerprints are each different, every snowflake is different.

There are an infinite variety of snowflakes. Wilson (Snowflake) Bentley, an American farmer who devoted most of his life to the examination and photography of snowflakes, never found two identical snowflakes.

Snow crystal forms generally fall into broad categories, or Snowflake and Ice Crystal Classifications which are used to create a common form of reference to describe snow crystals

Answer 6

Every flake is different because the water molecules freeze in different formations.

Answer 7

The same way that every human has looked different since the beginning of time. (excluding identicals; twins etc.)

Answer 8

Because their are 30 billion molecules and 90 billion atoms in a drop of water.

Answer 9

I doubt that there has never been two identical snowflakes.

Do a Google search on "deterministic chaos". This will give you more information.

Answer 10

ISNT THAT WONDERFUL HOW G0d is ? HE created this world. Snow flakes proves he is GREAT.
