Some of the morning newspapers show the latest crop circle which has appeared in a Wiltshire rape seed field. It is said that the complex spherical design is a ‘tantalising approximation’ of a mathematical formula called Euler’s Identity which is thought to be the ‘most beautiful and profound mathematical equation in the world’.
Mathematics bore me to tears, so I can’t make any comment on whether this crop circle does what the experts say it does. However, many of the crop circles I’ve seen are quite beautiful to look at even though you might need a helicopter to see them in their full splendour.
Are crop circles made by aliens trying to give us messages, the result of natural forces acting on the crops, or just elaborate hoaxes? The arguments for and against are endless and, except for those rare instances where the perpetrators of hoaxes own up to them, we may never know.
The one thing that the newspapers and television news teams very rarely comment upon is what the farmers affected by these circles feel about their crops being damaged.
What is certain is that the crop circle season is definitely upon us!
