technicly there will be snowflakes that are alike. because snowflakes are so tiny that the average joe never gets to see them upclose and no one really looks at every single snowflake. and then when it snows a million snowflakes drop down and that short fraction of a second where you would have to look at their shape before they melt or lap over other snowflakes on the ground is too short to tell the difference anyway. so only like in this video with laboratory conditions they can really tell the difference and again the amount of flakes being looked at is small compaired what you encounter in a real snowstorm
and if they are really based on a hex pattern after the whatever x trillion snowflake the pattern will repeat. guess only difference would be flakes with broken limps who can be seen as uniquei guess

to me the fact that a point in the upper left side of a snowflake branches (macroscopically) exactly like a point in the lower right side is a plain miracle. The overlap of EM fields of countless atoms determine the likelyhood of a branch and the type of the branch in a specific point and the fact that the symmetry is maintained at such macroscale is astonishing. I cannot wrap my mind around it. Termal jigling, crystal offsets, pressure/temperature/humidity differentials across the snowflake. when you account for those you should sink quickly into caos, such precise symmetry of the surface tension and the overall EM strenght and orientation cannot be maintained. and, instead, it is.

A snowflake has trillions of atoms.
The number of possible shapes is a number you cant even imagine.
When you find a tree whose leaves felt down in a snowflake shape you instantly think: who did this?
At that moment you have proven yourself that there are no identical snowflakes because the probability for the tree to lay a snowflake form with its leaves is astronomicly higher that two identical snowflakes.

my friends always go WOW WHAT when i tell them how well i know about snowflakes! i wrote a detailed research paper on snowflakes in elementary school and its one of the best times of my life. i really enjoyed everything about it and learning about snowflakes, its the only good thing ive gotten from being in school. it was the only time i was ever so happy and passionate about writing up a research paper for school.

They really are individuals formed by nature and built by the unique and individual paths it takes. The poetic justice in the comparison of people and snowflakes is just perfect. I hated when it was used to describe cry baby liberals. When really snowflakes In massive numbers can cause avalanches and crush anything that stands in its way.

Snowflakes really are a lot like humans. When you look at them from far away you can't tell them apart they are just. snowflakes. But when you look at them really closely you see all the differences between them, the very proof of the different journeys they had to get where they are now.

I dont consider them as oerfect copies. Even if they look the same they still arent. The be perfect twins they need to have every single atom placed on the same spot. And not even enough, it also needs to be the same isotope and thats for sure not possible not even in the labratory.

Deep Look makes everything looks 10X greater. Especially snow and SPIDERS!
How Deep Look makes it look: Beautiful, Warm, Sunny, Best Winter Ever
How its actually like: Cold Af, Cant Even Move, When it gets in your face, or down your body you just want to stand there and die

Deep Look: So there's this scientist who discovered factors that affects snowflake's shape and boasts himself for that
People: Its a great discovery!
Me as a kid: I created a new moisturizing lotion with baby powder mixed with water
My Parents: You're grounded again!

You can't exactly have a certain season ruined when you hate winter. Never really witnessed it in person. Or when you hate the holiday it contains. Though I still do like the crystal structure of the snowflake.

Only in time similar to it exist, in any another dimension in experience of humans it's the only one in the current conditions to exist. Thats what's unique is to humans.

I always wondered how the water molecules know what's happening on the other end of the snowflake, I should have known it was just air conditions

I have a great question. Why the snow flake is not growing its arms in sideways ( in 3 dimension shape) and grows only in 2d shape?

The are only perfect copys in looks alone, the hydrogen atoms will not be the same all the way through thanks to deuterium

Except that we know that not every snowflake _is_ unique. Visibly identical snowflakes exist in nature.
