About five years ago, I read this article in National Geographic about origami. The article was about all of the scientific/medical breakthroughs that origami was going to afford humans. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/big-idea/03/origami
It really struck some deep chord in me.
I cannot find the full article but it was essentially about how medical science and space science would change forever upon these ancient principles. For example, a stint could be folded, swallowed and then unfolded in the artery, thus preventing the need for more invasive procedures. Satellites are origami-based, etc...
Folding and unfolding. Much of yoga involves the complex unfolding and folding of the form of the body, getting the folds and lines just right, unblocking what is stuck or hung up. As well, though Einstein's book is way over my head, I think, ultimately, that we will find a correlation between origami and the structure of the universe. I have much more to say about that.
One of my favorite artists is Charley Harper. What I like about his work is that it portrays nature through the lens of geometry. His birds are my favorite. He sees the folds and symmetry and portrays them in their simplest and most balanced form. It is like a diagram for an origami project. Just google Charley Harper. and just google 'origami art' and you will be blown away by the intricate beauty and symmetry of it. beauty and truth. truth and beauty. it's binding.
