Arent they? I mean spiraling galaxies and fucking flowers or animals make some big fucking difference.
What is the science behind spirals in nature?

I think it is nature's way to grow.
The spirals you see represent scaling
They are spiral shaped because they grow towards the sun and/or moon on a rotating disk/sphere/planet

>this is somehow surprising
if there was such a basic pattern (like a spiral) that was found NOWHERE in nature - then I'd get suspicious.

Using modeling clay, make a slender, long cone and wrap it like the chameleon's tail.
WOAH, A WONDER

Reality is fractal and maybe spirals help people visualize this seemingly infinite structure

>What is the science behind spirals in nature?
If you rotate something and at the same time decrease the radius you get a spiral, this happens often in nature.
>Why do newage and popsci fags talk about muh spirals all the time?
I wouldn't know, it is just a nice meme to sound smart I guess.
>Is there something mystical about it?
No.
>Do you think there is something deeper hidden behind this pattern?
If you mean by "deeper meaning" pseudoscience bullshit then no. If you mean legitimate scientific research then certainly yes.
>Is there a pattern at all?
Definitely, at least mathematically.

>do you think there is something deeper
Probably something to do with information and order-parameters. Idk im not a mathfag I'm an ecology philosopher.
Yes it is an obvious pattern
I know Fibonacci spirals show up in plant communities maximizing aerial productivity.
>something mystical
Anything can be mystical, mystical experiences are subjective. Mystical experiences are synesthesia where symbolic meaning is sensed instead of abstracted and remembered. That's what I interpreted from my mystical expernieces anyways. My experience was naturalistic and could be rationalized btw
