Fascinating. Staring at this for a few minutes also produces the breathing vision effect.

Falsehood! Europeans couldn't explain Pendulum motion mathematically. Propaganda won't wash sins of Newton & Einstein.

When the Lorenz Attractor Becomes a Cosmos Many of us have seen plots of the famous Lorenz system that famous butterfly-shaped chaos: ẋ = σ(y - x) ẏ = x(ρ - z) - y ż = xy - βz But here, we went one layer deeper. At every point (x, y, z), we computed the local Jacobian matrix, J(x, y, z) = [ -σ σ 0 ] [ ρ - z -1 - x ] [ y x - β ] Then we found its eigenvalues λ and plotted them in the complex plane. Re(λ) tells us whether nearby motion is locally growing or decaying. Im(λ) tells us whether that local motion is rotating. That gives us the spectral flow of the Lorenz system and not the attractor itself, but the hidden local linear geometry driving its instability. When I saw that flow, it looked strangely cosmic with two mirrored swarms curling like particles trapped in a mathematical whirlpool. So I mapped that spectral flow onto our living fabric, not as Einstein Spacetime this time, but as a creative geometric stage for chaos itself. #LorenzSystem #ChaosTheory #DynamicalSystems #Eigenvalues #SpectralFlow #ComplexPlane #NonlinearDynamics #Mathematics #Physics

MEET BLUE: NVIDIA’S REAL-LIFE WALL-E Blue is an AI robot that moves, reacts, and talks like something straight out of a Pixar film. Blue runs on 2 NVIDIA computers and uses a physics engine for ultra-realistic tactile feedback, rigid and soft body simulation, all in real time. This isn’t a concept, this is how NVIDIA plans to train robots for the real world. And yes, it casually stole the show. Source: entrepreneurialogy
