Matt W. More and aarn collaborated on these numerically controlled sharpie drawings.
They made this series using Matt’s original vectors and a sharpie attached to a 3-axis CNC machine.

Alejandro Guijarro photographs the chalkboards of some of the brightest minds in quantum physics for his continuing series Momentum. He went to research facilities like CERN and many of the top universities in the world to find them.

Chaotic scattering. Plot of a cross section of the stable manifold of the chaotic invariant set from scattering off a potential of the form V(x,y)=(x^2)*(y^2)*exp[-(x^2+y^2)]. Created by taking a grid of initial conditions (initial x coordinate, initial velocity angle theta) at a given energy and integrating them forward.

MY BRAIN LITERALLY JUST EXPLODED WTF WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS
up next on things that make me mad
I desperately want to know how this trick works.
I want to know if you need a specific number of squares for it to work
I want to know how someone worked out the mathmatic for it
I want to know how many times you can do it before the illusion fails.
I need to know these things!
fuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkk offffffffff

aw yiss a chance to use my powers for good
If you pause at around 0:54, you can see that the squares along a diagonal seam look kind of funky. They’re not actually perfectly square, to magnify and/or hide the effect you can see if you plot out the pieces and their movements. Time to break out the graph paper!
Link to full-size version. Apologies for the smudges and my shitty handwriting, but I think you get the point.
Algebra is the offer made by the devil to the mathematician… All you need to do, is give me your soul: give up geometry.

Don’t drink and derive.

If you can solve - you are too close!!!

In mathematics, you don’t understand things. You just get used to them.
