I think he just proved that he never FOUND two that were alike. There is absolutely no rule against it happening.

It's like saying "I proved that you can't shuffle cards onto perfect order". No, you can just show that the odds of it happening are very low.

I can't see how it would be possible to have 100,000,000,000,000 snowflakes without a repeat.

The one with the little stick figure humping it? Larry the Cable Guy set their bar for comedy pretty low.

I’m not in the least bit political. I just can’t resist an easy snowflake joke. Apparently that’s a reason to get downvoted 😂

If you wanna torture your kids, take them to the museum in Jericho. Pretension meets boredom.

We all know it's lost on you, but man is your post ironic.

I voted for Biden. It was a joke about a snowflake. If that’s hitting a nerve then maybe you’re triggered?

Nah, just find the incessant need to pull politics into unrelated things as juvenile.

There's an entire world out there that existed before, and will exist well after, all the politicking ends. Why not focus on enjoying that, instead of chuckling about how some group of rich 80yr olds are worse/better than another group of 80yr olds that all get their pockets lined by the same people.

K. Who is ‘We’?

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong... but I thought there were two gentlemen in Europe who found two snowflakes that were alike as a way to pass the time while drinking at a pub. It's been a long while since I read the story though.. could just be nonsense... But I remember reading it years ago

I think I've read that he postulated that they likely might start out alike.

hahahaha I used to live across the street from that museum and I recall a friend’s ex reading the poems framed on the back wall out loud to her. I remember nothing except that cringe.

You could break it down extremely far and say no two ANYTHING are ever alike because it's statistically improbable of two things having the EXACT same measurements and weight down to the exact molecule.

​

At the same time you could say all snowflakes are alike because they are frozen water with a certain maximum diameter and mirrored shape.

That museum is so tiny they would only be bored for 10 minutes. If that.

You can read a similar article in the latest stowe magazine if so inclined

"I'm not political, I'd just rather have my head in the sand than inform myself on things that make me uncomfortable."

This guy figured out how to control the growth of snowflakes.

It'd likely be much larger if they weren't fighting the disrepair of the mill building and retaining wall that collapsed a few years back. Also used to have the pedestrian bridge which is still signed out front. I heard the downstairs is cool with old mill equipment, but haven't seen it. I'd say it's still as much worth a visit as the Hyde Log Cabin in the islands. Small museums are the best museums.

I agree it’s a unique little museum and adds local flavor.

Not sure what “pretentiousness” the other commenter was referring to. Anything you can tour in a couple minutes can’t really be that pretentious. My kids enjoyed it back in the day. I took them to that museum, walked the trails in the park out back, then went to Snowflake Chocolates around the corner.

I loved that museum as a child 😭
