Take two consecutive Fibonacci numbers, for example 5 and 8. And you’re done converting. No kidding – there are 8 kilometers in 5 miles. To convert back just read the result from the other end - there are 5 miles in 8 km!

Another example. Let’s take the consecutive Fibonacci numbers 21 and 34. What this tells us is that there are approximately 34 km in 21 miles and vice versa. (The exact answer is 33.79 km.)

I'm wondering about calculating total volume as variable a ranges from near zero Imos to ... say, Chicago.

Holiday Math

Whereby:

(1) mystery tweet = M2c2(A/π)(mx+b)-XF(q/t)

And given that:

(1.a) A = πR2 (area of a circle)

(1.b) y = mx+b (linear equation)

(1.c) F=MA (from Newton's laws of motion)

(1.d) S=q/t (classical Entropy definition)

Then:

(2) mystery tweet = M2c2R2y-XMAS

And given that:

(2.a) E = Mc2 (Einstein's equivalence of mass and energy equations)

Therefore:

(3) mystery tweet = MER2y-XMAS

(4) mystery tweet = MERRy-XMAS

3D Mandelbrot

It's been almost two years since we last wrote about the potential for a real 3D equivalent to the famous 2D Mandelbrot set. We're talking about a fractal which produces exquisite detail on all axes and zoom levels; one that doesn't simply produce the 'extruded' look of the various height-mapped images, or the 'whipped cream' swirls of the Quaternion approach.

    Well I am sure Georgeanne knows the local crowd far better than I do, and what they might be likely to purchase.

    Kiwi's sister, at whose home we're having the show, was strongly in favor of clock hands sweeping over body parts. She thinks it would sell well to the St Louis art crowd. I was initially putting the…

    some of them are lovely photos, but the clock doesn't fit in well (e.g. kwan yin - there's no place for the clock to go). the chihuly tentacle is great in that respect, because there is a natural hub…

    Geoff might well like to have this!! Some amazing pix came out of that day :) And I like the implied comparison of a clock=time with soap bubble=ephemerality... (is that a word??)

    It's pretty hard…
