Wolfram Shows Off :)

This, wow!

Impressive artwork.

Dr. Greg Dunn (artist and neuroscientist) and Dr. Brian Edwards (artist and applied physicist) created Self Reflected to elucidate the nature of human consciousness, bridging the connection between the mysterious three pound macroscopic brain and the microscopic behavior of neurons. Self Reflected offers an unprecedented insight of the brain into itself, revealing through a technique called reflective microetching the enormous scope of beautiful and delicately balanced neural choreographies designed to reflect what is occurring in our own minds as we observe this work of art. Self Reflected was created to remind us that the most marvelous machine in the known universe is at the core of our being and is the root of our shared humanity.

Hey all. Here in Sweden some of our preschools teaches signlanguage. It’s a really good compliment and the kids rock it like they never did anything else. I know Swedsh signlanguage because of my sisters deaf kid. Its a wonderfful way to communicate. Love the bodylanguage that comes with it! Take care!  

Reblog if you think sign language should be taught as a language in schools.

Wow, This was really intresting

I wounder what the gif community could do with such a simple code! :) 

How beautiful! 

Fibonacci you crazy bastard….

As seen in the solar system (by no ridiculous coincidence), Earth orbits the Sun 8 times in the same period that Venus orbits the Sun 13 times! Drawing a line between Earth & Venus every week results in a spectacular FIVE side symmetry!!

Lets bring up those Fibonacci numbers again: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34..

So if we imagine planets with Fibonacci orbits, do they create Fibonacci symmetries?!

You bet!! Depicted here is a:

2 sided symmetry (5 orbits x 3 orbits)

3 sided symmetry (8 orbits x 5 orbits)

5 sided symmetry (13 orbits x 8 orbits) - like Earth & Venus

8 sided symmetry (21 orbits x 13 orbits)

I wonder if relationships like this exist somewhere in the universe….

Hey, do you got juvenoia?  Heres a video for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD0x7ho_IYc :)

Take care!

kids these days and their baryons; why, in my day, we didnt even have the strong force 

Beautiful, where can I get my hands on one of these? :) 

Dragon Fractal - Level 5

If you take each of the 4 sides of a square and modify the angle of the dragon fractal as you go up, you get this shape. I’m still fighting the 3d models to get a nice smooth version.

Wow, huvudmaskinen får jobba hårt när jag tittar på dessa. Kommer genast till funderingen över hur många varv den innesta behöver snurra för att alla skall vara tillbaka på start igen. Häftigt, ser skevt ut när varannan form är svart som bakgrunden. :) Riktigt bra jobbat med sidan och de du skapat i Geogebra!!

Hey IBM,  Always loved your posts. BUT THIS, you want people to drink milk from a cow? The milk is for the calf! Shame on you for spreading the lie that milk is good for the body. It’s proven that milk is not good for humans after the age of 12. Stop treat animals like they are made for us humans to abuse! There is no humane way to kill or inseminate another living creature! Hope this is your first and last post propagates for animal abuse!

Dairy DNA

Milk, it does a body good, and we want to make sure it stays that way. In order to help protect the safety of this ingredient found in so many foods, IBM and Cornell University are working on a way to monitor raw milk straight from the source. By sequencing the DNA and RNA of milk and its surrounding microbes, they hope to be able to instantly detect food safety hazards so they don’t have a chance to make it into your glass or onto your plate.

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?
