Nature's Secrets

The physics of nature is simple but cannot be reproduced.
The beauty of tendrils of creepers and their adaptation to the climbing stalk is remarkable.
Given a metal stalk it's strength is almost equivalent to steel.
Its lack of strength is compensated by tight coiling.
I tried to pull a tightly wound tendril down but the tendril was torn.
I pull it upwards and it came out smoothly.
This arrangement makes climbing pretty easy but holding steadfast against the wind and the strength of the metal.
Chains, springs,strings and zips are man made duplications but not as elegant as in the nature's world.
