As a man cleans his house, he might see a spider that has woven itsweb
in a corner of the house. If he realises that he ought to think about
this creature which is normally of no importance to anyone, he will
see new doors being opened for him. This tiny insect he sees before
him is a miracle of design. There is perfect symmetry in the web the
spider has woven. If, by any chance, he wonders howa tiny spider could
achieve such astonishingly perfect design, and if he makes quick
research, he will encounter some other extraordinary facts: the thread
a spider uses is thirty percent more flexible than a rubber thread of
the same thickness. The thread thespider produces is of such a
superior quality that men use it as a model for the manufacture of
bullet-proof vests.
