       Dedication

       for my mother and father

       Epigraph

      There must be some definite cause why, whenever snow begins to fall, its initial formation invariably displays the shape of a six-cornered starlet. For if it happens by chance, why do they not fall just as well with five corners or with seven?…Who carved the nucleus, before it fell, into six horns of ice?

      From “On the Six-Cornered Snowflake,” by Johannes Kepler, 1610
