Starfish grows crystals on its back that act as a way to measure light intensity; each one in a specific shape that all add up to visible bumps. This is exactly what Martin Kemp was describing in the previous lecture, in terms of how organic shapes build on one another. I just LOVE when you hear a new factoid in one place and it emerges elsewhere; helps build understanding. Watching these dancers act out the concept of viscosity is just and added bonus.
