Carlos Paris is doing amazing work on geometric visualizations of twin primes using ancient sieve algorhitms. You can follow his thinking on his website, “the sieve of chaos,” where he lays out his thought process step by step. He also has … Continue reading
What obsesses mathematicians, apparently, is that there is no discernible order to the sequence of prime numbers. No pattern, therefore no equation or formula or axiom to describe their relationships to each other or to anything else. It’s just unaccountably random: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67, … Continue reading
Even after countless repetition, the endlessly recirculated images and videos of this uncanny phenomena render its beauty no less striking. Yes, indeed, it’s a murmuration of starlings. Q: Murmuration? A: Yeah, a soft, indistinct or low continuous sound. In the case of the human, … Continue reading
Alice Boole Stott (1860 – 1940), the Princess of Polytopia Wholly unschooled in mathematics, Alice Boole Stott discovered and built 3D models of 4D polytopes such as the 120 cell dodecahedra, 600 cell tetrahedra and other geometric marvels. An amazing visionary … Continue reading
When i first read James Gleick’s “Chaos” many years ago, I could sit forever staring at the magically hallucinogenic Mandelbrot fractal patterns — it was like looking at pictures of god. Something like that happens when i look at Bathsheba … Continue reading
An amazing Rilke poem that i rememborialized in hischool, remuttered and expirinsperated like a cantashun, whilst trudging the lonely woods of teenangsterdumb. The deep parts of my life pour onward, as if the river shores were opening out. It seems … Continue reading
the manifold lies within… φ Jason Ross presents Riemann’s work in a 40 minute video. “it’s as much about consciousness as it is about geometry” φ Professor Christina Sormani’s brief description of Riemann geometry. personally speaking, i love mathematicians who can speak the pleb’s … Continue reading
