...most fascinating reports at last week's New Orleans seminar of the American Cancer Society was made not by a doctor or biologist, but by an aeronautical engineer. Clarence Cone Jr., of NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia, was assigned by the space agency to study the effect on cell division of any radiation that astronauts might encounter. Cone knew that normal cells, grown in the laboratory, will not multiply and crowd one another beyond a certain point. But cancer cells lack this "contact inhibition," and are joined by intimate bonds or "bridges" of cellular material...
During his research, Cone found that when a cancer cell divides, it sets off a chain reaction. He suggests that an electrical signal accompanying division in the first cell flashes through the network of bridges to other cells in the group, causing all of them to divide nearly instantaneously. This process, Cone believes, helps explain the uncontrolled proliferation of cells that characterizes cancer...

Mystical Connection. In nature, male bees reproduce Fibonaccially, and the number of spiral floret formations visible in many sunflowers, spiraled scales on a pine cone and segments on the surface of a pineapple have been found to match Fibonacci numbers. The pattern of the branching of many trees, the position of leaves on the branches, and petal formation of many flowers are also described by numbers in the Fibonacci series...
