Squares in Squares

The following pictures show n unit squares packed inside the smallest known square (of side length s). For the n not pictured, the trivial packing (with no tilted squares) is the best known packing.

I noticed every prime adds a new broken symmetry that reoccurs quasiperiodically from then on. This is why I sometimes refer to the primes as “The pattern of patterns.”

Just a typical organic reaction. 

At the beginning it had a normal color (anything between colorless and black), then I added a catalyst and the whole reaction mixture turned black in less than a minute. 

Goal: isolate a colorless crystalline compound in the highest yield from the black gunk what is in the flask.

Even through it looks like that, but it’s not a rotting reaction mixture in the flask. It’s a compound after recrystallization and it formed very-very thin needle like crystals.

I think I fall in love a little bit with anyone who shows me their soul. This world is so guarded and fearful. I appreciate rawness so much.

If you trade your authenticity for safety, you may experience the following: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, rage, blame, resentment, and inexplicable grief.

The true measure of your courage is not whether you reach your goal - it’s whether you decide to get back on your feet no matter how many times you’ve failed.

What to do when you’re stuck in a rut

1. Remind yourself that, in time, things will change and we all get bogged down at different periods in life.

2. Try to make sure that you do some exercise – as that brightens our mood and boosts our mental energy.

3. Be aware of the tendency to isolate yourself. Being around other people can give you more support, and can help you to keep going when you feel like giving up.

4. Try changing your routine. Just changing a few things can help you feel more in control, and less at the whim of external circumstances.

5. Set some small goals for yourself and take some steps to make them happen – again, you’ll feel less trapped as you will feel that you have options.

6. Make sure you treat yourself well so you know that you have value … Buy some clothes … or take time out … or do whatever makes you happy.

7. Pay attention to your thoughts, and keep your mind on what inspires you. Look for hope – create some vision – and remember: things WILL change!
