I disagree that there is any perfect geometry in nature. There is fractal geometry, or chaos, but not perfect classical geometry like straight lines or perfect circles or even perfect ellipses.

The mathematical generalization is "perfect", but the realities of the astronomical, mineral, and biological examples contain defects:
diamonds have flaws
other crystals have inclusions
DNA has mutations
planets are oblate spheroids
orbits are eccentric
etc
etc.
Do not confuse the abstract generalization for the thing as found in nature.

there is not any such element as definitely, quite ideal geometry everywhere interior the universe. ideal, a minimum of that each physique human beings understand of. Everlything has the smallest bump or bend interior the outer edge.

The Giants Causeway in Ireland has some pretty interesting geometric shapes. There are about 40,000 hexagonal stones.

To a degree, I guess - all the planets are round, and they spin on a central axis, if the moon were oblong instead of spherical it would spin off it's axis and erratically go off into space...that's geometry isn't it?

I'm not sure what your question means. Just about everything you mentioned is found in nature and what is "natural" geometry. It sounds like a new age thing like postive and negative energy.

uhhhh can give me an example of a perfect geometry on earth ?
I dont think there is in nature a perfect circle,
I dont think that in nature there is a perfect straight line
so first try to explain what you mean woth "perfect geomtery on earth"

What do you mean "perfect"? At the atomic level, none of these have perfect geometry.

The sphere shape of planets and the ellipse that is the path of orbits are two easy examples.
