Wee Planet : 3D panoramic photos as planets - its all about coordinate systems

A beautiful panoramic picture of Paris. 360 degree photo called Eiffel planet, was built from 80 pictures.

To create this effect, all you need to do is to use the “polar coordinate filter” and then use rotational filter in your photo editing software: hmmm.. why does that sound so familiar?

Our mind already does so much processing of the visual stimuli we receive, sometime it is good to start with raw data and reprocess it in a different way.

For more 3D - Wee Planet pictures of Paris, see here. And you can see more Wee Planet pictures of interesting vistas here.

If you want to make your own planet - use planetizer!

Equilibirum Tattoo

If you want an “equilibirum” tattoo - you can be very direct about it and just write it out, or you can have an yin-yang or some floral design.

But to show that you really UNDERSTAND what equilibirum means then do what Don Erdman did; get a tattoo of Cauchy’s relation.

My Equalibrium tattoo, needs some touch up next time I am in to get something new.

Physics - accelerate your mind

A beautiful poster design from American Physical Society.

The poster was also sponsored by the American Association of Physics Teachers and by the Society of Physics Students.

Relativity train

A train that describes how one might travel through spacetime was discovered in the Bolivian desert by a physics teacher.

The old locomotive itself must have pushed the boundaries of space and time due to its mysterious location in the desert and its signs of old age. The unique feature of the train is the expression painted on the engine and signed by A. Einstein.

This equation not only answers the question of how gravity works, but it also describes black holes, gravity waves, bending of light, planetary motion, and the shape of the universe.

The observer on this particular day was Monica Witt, a physics teacher at Friends Seminary in New York City, who discovered this fascinating artifact while hiking through the Bolivian desert.

A bunch of Physics Equations.

My physics class were feeling unmotivated to revise for their upcoming Intermediate2 exam. So I gave them all a banana and challenged them to write as many physics equations on them as possible. I think we got 23 on one.

Fizdup’s photo stream

Brilliant - physics revision, combined a good source of magnesium, potassium, calcium and fiber too.

pendulum Trajectory

This picture shows the trajectory of a pendulum, as seen from the bottom. The pendulum bob is equipped with a white punctual light source, which emits in all directions. On the picture you can notice a drop in the amplitude, mainly caused by air friction. You can also notice that the ellipse traced during each cycle undergoes a precession, or a rotation of the major axis. As the amplitude increases relatively to the length of the pendulum, the period, or the time to complete a to and fro cycle, tends to increase also (non-harmonic oscillator). Since the amplitude of the major axis of the ellipse is greater than that of the minor axis, the periods of the major and minor axes are different, which brings the axes to oscillate out of phase and rotate.

Viva L a Resistance : Physics t-shirt

my response to physics (summer 2005) by 3 x 3.
(Summer 2005) The only thing I got out of Physics were silly ideas for t-shirts.
