Tuesday Physics Tattoo: Interesting Pi Tattoo designs

Pi is such an intriguing number and it pops up at places you least expect it to. No wonder it is a favorite number among the “life mystery lovers”.

Here are two Pi Tattoo designs that do justice to the inherent intrigue of the number Pi.

Here the numbers are the design!

Here the dots represent the digits, starting on top and going clockwise.

Thanks VJ for sending it.

Don’t tell me you don’t know Pi to the 20th digit! Here is a mnemonics for you.

Sun & Moon & Skies proclaim the divine author of the Universe.

or

How I wish I could enumerate Pi easily, since all these horrible mnemonics prevent recalling any of pi’s sequence more simply.

If you are looking for mnemonics in a different language, go here.

Tuesday Physics Tattoo: Can’t have enough of Pi Tattoos – this time with numbers

Image

From Grace: you ever need a picture of a girl with Pi to 10 places tattooed on her back…. (i just got it done :-D)

the first half of my fifth tattoo. twentieth of april, two thousand and eight.

i’ve had a few problems getting around to the rest of it, but it should end up at 84 digits. there’s room for more after that, if i get the urge. it’s good to be tall.

This is so remarkable and I am not going to ruin it by adding some other lame picture of an unimaginative pi tattoo.

It is very easy to have Pi on your mind, but it is very hard to get Pi in your heart! Talk Like a Physicist

Tuesday Physics Tattoos: CERN bubble chamber tracks tattoos:

cern_bubble_chamber_tattoo

Bubble chamber tracks are so beautiful and having a tattoo of the actual tracks is very special.

Considering that LHC will start tonight, there was an interesting comment about this tattoo:

You have a potential end of the effing universe tattooed on your arm. Well done, sir.

For additional pictures of this tattoo, please see Lofidelity’s Flickr

Here is another tattoo of the same bubble chamber track image.

The original track image looks like this:

Image

Here, the particles in the beam, which comes in from the left, are pions, the short-lived particles discovered originally in cosmic rays. One has interacted with a proton in the liquid near the upper left, to create a spray of new particles. One of these was a neutral (uncharged) particle, which left no track, but revealed its existence when it decayed nearer the centre of the image, to produce two charged particles that leave behind a sideways V shape.

The chamber was located in a magnetic field, which made positive particles curve to the right, and negative particles to the left. Particles with high energies, including the beam particles, curve almost imperceptibly, but particles with lower energies produce fascinating spirals. These are mainly due to electrons knocked from atoms in the liquid hydrogen.
