'And Fate? No one alive has ever

escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you.'

[jacksonsart]

This Ted-Ed video explains how swirling patterns in Vincent Van Gogh's paintings can be described almost exactly by complex mathematical models of turbulence. The patterns are a prominent feature of paintings from Van Gogh's periods of psychosis and incarceration, but are otherwise largely absent from his work. We don't know quite what to think about this - do you think it's simply coincidence?

Elevator Pitch:

TED-Ed - Lessons Worth Sharing

Founders:

TED

Key ideas:

TED-Ed’s commitment to creating lessons worth sharing is an extension of TED’s mission of spreading great ideas. The TED-Ed site, launched in April 2012, allows users to take any useful educational video, not just TED's, and easily create a customized lesson around the video. Users can distribute the lessons, publicly or privately, and track their impact on the world, a class, or an individual student.

The TED-Ed site is also home to TED-Ed Originals, a unique style of videos created by pairing extraordinary educators with talented animators to create curiosity-igniting videos for video-based lessons.
