Science-rity

My name is Alex Lee. I like science as art. I'm a Coffee, Cat & Twizzlers lover! I'm a manga reader. I'm a waste of space. I may be a freaky guy but you will never be cool. And I can live with it.

There is something special about rotations of 137.5 degrees.

This is an attempt at replicating Seeds by Jared Tarbell of Levitated and Complexification.

Mathematica code:

d[x_, y_, r_, c_, s_, F_, n_] := {Disk[ RotationTransform[n*2.4][{x*c^n, y}], r*c^n], Table[ {White, Disk[ RotationTransform[k*2 Pi/F, RotationTransform[n*2.4][{x*c^n, y}]] [RotationTransform[n*2.4][{x*c^n, y}] + c^n {r - s, 0}], s*c^n]}, {k, 0, F - 1, 1}]} Manipulate[ ImageCrop[ Graphics[ Table[ d[3, 0, 1 - .1*Sin[t + n*Pi/110]^2, 1.025, .03, 24, n], {n, 0, 110, 1}], PlotRange -> 30, Background -> Black, ImageSize -> 700], {500, 700}], {t, 0, 39 Pi/40, Pi/40}] Manipulate[[ ImageCrop[ Graphics[ Table[ d[3, 0, 1 - .1*Sin[t*3 Pi/40 + n*2 Pi/110]^2, 1.025, .03, 24, n], {n, If[t < 66 , 0, 2 (t - 65)], If[t < 56, 2 t, 110], 1}], PlotRange -> 30, Background -> Black, ImageSize -> 700], {500, 700}], {t, 0, 120, 1}]

How to cut an equilateral triangle into only four pieces so they can be rearranged into a square? Henry Dudeney's solution to this (the Habberdasher's problem) is particularly neat as it can work using hinged pieces. [more] [thanks to] [code]

Unlike with film, most digital cameras don’t record every part of the image at the same time. Often the image is scanned from left to right and top to bottom, which can create some interesting effects when recording moving objects like the blades of a fan. Here we simulate a digital movie of a rotating chess-board. The scan is moving from left to right, catching up with the rotation in the bottom of the image, and moving against it at the top.
