Welcome to my world of dyslexia... :)

When I'm halfway through a sentence and suddenly realise there is no way out of the grammatical crater I have dug myself

Regolo’s Square Fractal

Inspiration: http://regolo54.tumblr.com/post/150627614707/fractal

Code as is.

Interactive code. Up/down/left/right mouse controls the size and placement of the squares. Up/Down arrows control how many squares are in each ring. Any other key will save the frame as a picture!

Three of my favorite tumblrs in one post, keep it up boys. :)

Dog Chase - Switcher

I saw Regolo Bizzi’s wonderful drawings on twitter, and I had to try and make them in processing. I recognized it as a version of the dog chase problem (where dogs at each corner of a square are chasing the dog to their left), but now they switch from the left dog to the right dog every 100 frames. Also made a hexagon version (6 dogs), because why not?

Väldigt vackert när det är Mondrian målning som reflekteras om. Wow! Jag undrar hur en “grid” av rutor 1x1 skulle se ut efter den blivit omgjord.  Dags att uppgradera mina programeringsskills och göra egna program.. :)

Edit: Malin hade gjort ett fint program redan för detta. MEN, att rita raka stäck med mus är sådär halv lätt.. Resultat : 

When reflecting a painting in a circle, pen strokes close to the centre of the circle become thicker. Reflecting a pixel-based image would enlarge and distort some pixels.  A painting built of strokes, like a Mondrian-painting, is better suited for circle inversion.

I just love nerds like this! Wow, you amaze me!

Here’s a time-lapse I took of my friend and I wrapping copper wire around our radio telescope antenna. 

If any of the other stages of the build process would make for interesting videos, I will try to post them as well.

Wow, I just love when science is put to practical use!

Pun on ‘Doppler Shift’.

I love it when people take up Physics concepts and incorporate them into the realms of everyday life. 

The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift) is the change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to its source. 

It is commonly observed in sound. When a car is approaching you, the pitch (frequency) of the car increases and when it recedes, the pitch decreases. right? This is the Doppler Shift in action. 

Or to put it in TBBT verbatim - “ Neeeeoooowwwww!”

The Doppler Shift works with light exactly the same as with sound! Just as sound seems higher or lower in pitch as the object is moving towards or away from you, light appears higher in frequency (color) when the object is moving towards you, and lower in frequency/color when moving away from you. The order of colors/frequency of light that we can see is: 

Lower Frequency               Higher Frequency

red - orange - yellow  - green - blue - violet

So a far away object moving quickly away from you would appear more reddish than if it were standing still. The same object moving quickly towards you would appear more bluish than if it were standing still.

Verkligen en vacker skapelse!

Important topic!

Spread the word! 

Science is being defunded around the world. Help us spread the importance of science, by sharing this video!

Despite our achievements, science and society are often at odds. Scientific discoveries like the Earth is round, that our planet revolves around the sun, or that diseases are spread through germs were all once ideas that were rejected by society. So much so that Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for suggesting the Earth wasn’t the centre of the universe, and even Galileo was sentenced to house arrest for supporting the theory. Today we see the rejection of scientific evidence for vaccinations - leading to preventable disease like measles coming back, after being wiped out in the year 2000; or the rejection of scientific evidence for climate change, despite the vast consensus among scientists.

Let’s spread our love of science further, so others can learn to understand and appreciate it! Your sharing is appreciated

Trying to list all the numbers, yet again... The Infinite Series playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaNzoFtkQ7rYwjp8AlVBp576YK_sdfyi8

Finally Vihart post a video again!

Damn, yes, why wouldn’t you! Looks great!

idk, why wouldn’t I make these and post them
