An audio recording of Carl Sagan on the topic of extraterrestrials turned into a beautifully vivd animation.
Based on the youtube channel “Blank on Blank” which turns audio recordings of famous figures into psychedelic animations in order to help expand and get the overall message and/or wisdom of the topic across with better success.
I don’t really know what a Mandelbrot is or what its significance is, but its still very interesting nonetheless . Besides, the double edge sword of finding out the mystery in something, removes the mystery that made it so interesting in the first place.
Yesterday, scientists from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) announced the detection of gravitional waves from the violent merging of two black holes in deep space. How cool is that? Scientists describe the finding as discovering an entirely new way to view the universe.
Some great crystal-growing eyecandy in this one. Lucy in the sky with bath salts!
Do check out the making of vid as well:
“The Infinite” is a beautifully executed animated film exploring the birth of the universe. Made with assistance from the Alfred P. Sloane Foundation for science in film, this was Joseph Yeh’s graduation thesis fron the University of Southern California’s animation program.
Three processes interact to make this animation. A spontaneous differentiation due to a multi-scale Turing instability causes the development of dots and lines of various colors. Each color is also a movement, leading to a compressible flow which smears and obliterates the dots and lines. The third process is an overall exponential growth or inflation. Small structures expand, and the Turing instability causes sub-structures to form.
