🎨 An Underwater Artist: The White-Spotted Pufferfish

At first glance, it resembles a mandala or a masterpiece of sacred geometry—but this intricate formation wasn’t drawn by human hands. It was sculpted by a fish. 🐡✨

Deep beneath the waters off southern Japan, the male Torquigener albomaculosus—also known as the white-spotted pufferfish—engages in an extraordinary act of natural design. Using only his fins and body, he meticulously carves massive circular patterns into the sand, often more than 2 meters (6.5 feet) wide. These formations display stunning radial symmetry and mathematical elegance that rival man-made art and architecture.

But this isn’t just an artistic flourish—it’s a strategic courtship display. The complexity and symmetry of the design signal the male’s genetic fitness to potential mates. The more perfect the pattern, the higher the chance he will attract a female.

And there’s more than beauty here—there’s function. The ridges and grooves aren’t random. They’re aerodynamically shaped to manipulate ocean currents, helping funnel fine sand particles to the center. This creates a soft, protected nest ideal for laying eggs.

🌊 It’s a breathtaking reminder that even creatures with no concept of mathematics can still express it—instinctively, elegantly, and with purpose.

📐 Sometimes, nature is the greatest mathematician of all.

Have you heard of this major study, which revealed the power of music to help shape our emotions and wellbeing?

In 2020, the British Academy of Sound Therapy released results after they tested 7,581 participants about the effects of listening to music.

The study found the optimum listening time of 13 minutes – and many benefits were reported, including ‘decreased muscle tension, negative thoughts disappearing, feeling peaceful and contented and being able to sleep better’.

Music of a slow tempo, simple melody and no lyrics was also identified as the most effective.
