Why Does Math Work So Well in Nature?

Math is like a secret language that nature uses to talk. Imagine you find a seashell, and it has pretty spirals on it, those aren’t random! They come from math. It’s the same way the stars move in space: they follow special rules we can understand with numbers and shapes. Math helps us see how the world is connected in surprising ways.
