I always use special relativity as a counter example to heros, as allegedly even Einstein said it was "ripe for discovery". To me, the proposition of spin soubded so outlandish, it might have taken decades for someone else to pull it off, but I'm no historian 😅

Diffusion normally averages out differences. But two diffusing chemicals or genes coupled with negative feedback can lead to repeating spot and stripes. These Turing pattern likely not only give rise to skin patterns e.g. on fishes, but also the skeletal pattern leading to our fingers and toes.
