It isn't like it can be proved one way or another, right? (it's these absolutes that intrigue me...we as a society have a tendancy to believe whatever "they" say, lmao!

"They" cant prove it. But if you sit outside while it is snowing and examing as many snowflakes as you can you will see that you wont see one the same as another. Its just like people. There are no two people alike. Yes there are twins and stuff but even the most identical twins are different in their own way. "They" have some proof that no two snowflakes are alike. They examined snowflakes for years. Make it a science project. Sit ourside with gloves on while it is snowing, challenge yourself to find two snowflkes that are exactly alike, take a picture of it and send it to some scientist to prove them wrong.
Good question!

There are no longer any 2 snowflakes alike. right this is the mathematics. If a snowflake became composed of one hundred variable areas, the accessible mixtures could be ten to the 158th power. this is a style extra suitable than ten to the seventieth power extra suitable than all the atoms interior the universe. yet a snowflake has somewhat extra suitable than one hundred variable areas. It has ten to the 18th molecules in it. meaning that it may take a super e book to even print the size of the style of circumstances extra suitable the accessible mixtures are than all the atoms interior the universe. or maybe that's no longer the great tale. because of the fact no longer all water molecules are the comparable. And in addition to, whether contemporary theory assumes that subatomic debris mutually with quarks, electrons, and neutrinos are consistently comparable with one yet another, that's totally presumptuous to have faith that. this is extra probably that those "superb" debris are somewhat not extra "superb" than molecules or atoms. the least confusing and maximum logical hypothesis is that there are no longer any 2 of something interior the universe that are appropriate twins. Snowflakes, cornflakes, people, grains of sand, stars, atoms, in spite of the fact that.

I'm guessing that they've yet to find 2 identical snowflakes!
I do think it's highly unlikely that each new snowflake is new and different form all the others that have gone before, there must be some repetition somewhere!

you're right, it hasn't been proven...not something you really could prove. you could say using statistics that there is a 99.9999% that there are no alike snowflakes.
would you like to collaborate on a project to examine the snowflakes and try to find two that are the same?
you take your side of the Earth, I'll take mine.
Now if we could just get some snow..:-)

I totally agree, and have wondered this myself. Did someone inspect all the snowflakes in the world? And even if they did, what about the snowflakes yet to fall??
Great question!

Shockingly I have a friend who is one of the 'they' in this situation. They collected a whole bunch of the things and found that they're all different. Then they melted them and refroze them and... they refroze into their orginal pattern - how cool is that?!
It's not totally proof cus they haven't looked at all the snow flakes in the world. How do they know that they didn't just happen to examine all the ones that weren't identical?

It may be true that it can't be proved. There may be snowflakes that are similar, but there isn't evidence of two being exactly the same.

I forget where I heard this but there are snow flakes that are alike....It was proven...
Anyway that is an old saying...

I agree with your question, I don't know who was the first one who thought such think, better if he (she) could prove that.
