Spider webs are truly a wonder of architecture and engineering, as
wellas their qualities such as strength, flexibility and use
advantages.
It is known by virtually everyone that spiders use the silky threads
produced in their own bodies to set a web. However, the
productionphases of this silk and itsgeneral characteristics are not
so well- known. This silk thread, which spiders produce and the
diameter of which is lessthan one millimeter, is five times stronger
than steel of the same thickness. Also it can flex four times its own
length.
Another striking characteristic of the silk is that it is very
lightweight. We can explain this with an example. The weight of a silk
thread that will circle the earth would weigh only 320 grams.
Scientists are resuming their research to technologically benefit from
these characteristics of the spider thread.
Spider Silk Prevents Computers From Overheating
Researchers have concluded that spider silk can conduct heat 800 times
better than all other organic materials in the world. However, whereas
spider silk can conduct heat with a rateof 416 W/m-K (watt/meter
Kelvin), the same rate is 401 W/m-K in copper. Human skin can conduct
electricity by only 0.6 W/m-K. Whilespider silk is ahead of copper,
which is one of the materials that conduct heat the best, when it is
compared to silicone aluminum and pure iron, it is again superior.
This superiorityof the spider silk only falls behind when compared to
silver and diamond.
The secret behind the conductivity of spider silk is the molecular
structure of the silk Allahcreated specially for these beings. Spider
silk is formed by a combination of hard, crystal pieces that
self-generate as well as dynamic and elastic pieces.
Scientists think that theycan better understand its conductivity by
examining the spider silk's characteristics of creation. They note
that these organic materials can be used in computers, which are made
of substances that conduct heat by using this feature of the web, and
that spider silk can be used in many fields from electronics to summer
clothing.
The physical features of spiders and their behaviors clearly prove
that these beings were created by Allah. Allah, the Lord of all
worlds, reveals this truth to the people with the verse; " He said,
'The Lord of the East and the West and everything between them if you
used your intellect.' …" (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 28)
Violin String From SpiderWeb
When researchers who made a type of thread by spinning approximately
five thousand silk strings taken from 300 female " Nephila macukala "
spiders, which are known for their complexwebs, in the same direction,
and then made violin strings by spinning three of these threads in the
opposite direction, and measuring th pull force of the string, they
found that the string can endure less tension than the string
traditionally made by using intestinesand more tension than modern
nylon string covered with aluminum. In addition, when violin strings
made in this way are studied under a scanning electron microscope, it
was foundthat they are perfectly round and since they fit together
perfectly, a very nice and soft resonance was obtained.
Spiders could not have learned to knitspin this web, which works with
perfect planning, on its own as a result of the so-called evolutionary
process. Spiders act withthe command of Allah like all other beings on
earth. Almighty Allah reveals this with the verse; " ... when
everything in the heavens and earth, willingly or unwillingly, submits
to Him and to Him you will be returned? " (Surah Al 'Imran , 83)
Spider Web Example in Covering Large Sites
Webs built by dew spiders are both aesthetic and amazing interms of
engineering. These spiders build their webs on a horizontal plane to
appear like a sheet lying on grass. They use vertical grasses as
girders and ensure that the weight on the grass is evenly distributed
on this grass.
This method was reproduced by people inorder to cover large sites. The
Munich Olympics Stadium and JeddahAirport, which are shown as examples
of today's modern architecture works, were built by imitating the webs
of these spider species. As in this example, every being people take
as an example, and every system they possess are a verse (evidence) of
Allah for people. This truth is revealed in Suratal-Jathiyya as such:
And in your creation andall the creatures He has spread about there
are Signs for people with certainty . (Surat al-Jathiyya, 4)
Artificial Spider Webs That Hold Water
The capacity of spider web to hold water is very high. Researchers
have copied the characteristics of spider web, which hold water drops
effectively, and developed a synthetic thread that can be used in
holding the water in the atmosphere. Scientists who examinedweb fibers
of uloborus walckenaerius spiders under the microscope found that the
water particles that move along the fiber change the web's structure
when they intensify to form drops. In the study, it was understood
that the thread made by the substance secreted by this spider forms
four times thicker knots in sections that water droplets gather.
Another less known characteristic of spider web is its capacity to
collect water from moist air. Scientists who are inspired by this
characteristic developed artificial fibers that copy the silk's
structure, and they pointed out the ability of these artificial fibers
to collect water. It is considered that these artificial fibers can be
used to collect water in the air or to filter chemical products in
industrial production.
Spider Web Will Inspire the Internet
In the research conducted on araneus diadematus , a common garden
spider that lives in Europe, using computer modeling, it was found
that spider webs react differently todifferent tension levels. As it
is known, spider web has a unique quality that softens when needed and
then turns back to its original hardness. In the research, it was
understood that spider web softens in mild wind and does not showa
disruption in general structure, and when a stronger force is applied
to a specific point, the web loses its flexibility inthis region of
the web and breaks off. However,this situation strengthens the general
structure and wholeness of the web even more. Research showed that
when fibers in different regions break, the web can carry three to
twenty percent more weight than it normally does.
Researchers think that with the deciphering of these secrets of the
spider web, complex networks like the Internet can be built in
astronger way against disruptions in the future.New visual networks
that can be formed like this will not lose their mechanical quality,
despite enduring much damage, and no matter which part of the systemis
attacked, the network will collapse only at a certain point. Thus in
many areas from electrical networks and the internet to the textile
industry, great leaps will be achieved based on the spider webin
future.
During the research conducted to uncover the chemistry of spider
threads, threads are taken from spiders with special machines. In
this way, 320 meters (almost three milligrams) of silk can be gathered
per animal. Another field that spider threads are used to serve human
beings is medicine. Pharmacologists at the University of Wyoming in
the USA are using the threads of a spider species called " Nephile "
in lieu of catgut in very sensitive operations like tendon and joint
operations.
With the acceptance of the superiority of created features, no doubt,
evolutionists have experienced a new disappointment and a new sense of
hopelessness. The invalidity of evolutionists' unscientific claims
that beings are in a state of development from the simple to the more
complex over time and that their characteristics have formed by
coincidence, were once again proved. Allah, the Lord of all worlds, is
the One Who creates flawless and unique systems. Allah is the One Who
creates all things flawlessly. Those who donot want to accept this
will live an unending regret in the hereafter.
He Who created the seven heavens in layers.You will not find any flaw
in the creation of the All-Merciful. ऀ Lookagain – do you see any
gaps? Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you dazzled
and exhausted! Surat al-Mulk, 3-4)
Allah Created Spider Threads in the Best Shape For Its Purpose
It is generally not knownthat spiders use more than one thread type
while making their webs. However, spiders produce different threads in
their bodies for different purposes. When one thinks about the life of
spiders, it is immediately understoodhow important this feature is,
because the specialty of the thread the spider walks on and the
threads it used to catch its prey or to wrap it tightly have to be
different from one another. For example, if the thread a spider walks
on were adhesive like the thread it uses to catch the prey, the spider
would stick on the web and thus it would cause its own death.
These silk threads have different qualities in terms of both
flexibility and strength, and they also have different qualities for
thickness and adhesiveness. For example, the hanging thread, which
plays a big role in the spider's life, has a flexible and strong
structure even though it is not adhesive. It can carry two to three
times the spider's weight easily. The spider, which also carries its
prey together, can move up and down safely thanks to these ropes.
As it is seen, the spider needs to make very different threads and
moreover it must use these different threads in the right places. Even
the lack of one of these threads is potentially deadly for the spider.
None of the qualities spiders have could have emerged phase by phaseas
the theory of evolution suggests. Sinethe first spiders on earth, all
spiders have existed in their completeform. All of these point to the
evidences that they emerged all of a sudden and that Allah created
them. Allah shows us His infinite power and matchless knowledge with
the superior miracle of creation in spiders. Allah reveals this truth
in one verse:
Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah. He is the
Almighty, the All-Wise. The kingdom of the heavens and the earth
belongs to Him. ऀ He gives life and causes to die.He has power over
all things . (Surat al-Hadid, 1-2)
