Supposing energy and matter are equal and opposite. There is a finite limit. This lends credibility to reincarnation. Also supposing the universe can only expand to a limit. If there are fundamental limits, at some point all avenues will be explored in nature. Then repetition will inevitably follow. So is every snowflake different or is the similarity the difference?

The claim doesn't stand on logic alone. To claim every snow flake is different, we would assume that every snow flake has been checked -- they haven't.
To make such claims is flawed reasoning.

Snowflakes form in a wide variety of intricate shapes, leading to the popular expression that "no two are alike". Although statistically possible, it is very unlikely for any two snowflakes to appear exactly alike due to the many changes in temperature and humidity the crystal experiences during its fall to earth. Initial attempts to find identical snowflakes by photographing thousands of them with a microscope from 1885 onward by Wilson Alwyn Bentley found the wide variety of snowflakes we know about today. It is more likely that two snowflakes could become virtually identical if their environments were similar enough.

From what I understand, they have apparently, the "people" have finally said that no two snowflakes are alike. You can probably find this proof of evidence I am sure on the net somewhere.

No two snowflakes have ever been identified that were identical.
However, not all the snowflakes have been checked yet.
Humans too, are so alike when it comes to their efforts to be different.
Indeed, everything gets recycled....... I guess.

No. Just like saying each person looks completely different. It is just that the probability of any two being the same is extremely huge.

Is every leave in the same tree really different? Or bee, ant...???
They all look the same especially from the distance, but they are all different and unique especially with close look.
