Fibonacci Sculptures That Animate

Fibonacci Sculptures That Animate Under A Strobe Light

John Edmark designed the sculptures using the Fibonacci sequence — the same found in most spiral shapes in nature — and then synchronized their rotation speed with a camera's shutter. The results are astounding.

Cool or not?

Pretty cool.

If you're not familiar with this, and a couple of other mathematical sequences....

"One One Two Three Five, Eureka!"
-a character in a children's 'math detective' show

Part of the Desk's Mystery Series.

     Ahhh yes. Those wonderful numbers. Featured on 'Did you know that?' kids shows and preached by people who understand logarithms to the rest of us that don't.
     Those who believe in the mystical relationship of mathematics to nature point to the nautilus's shell and the way sunflower seeds are arranged in the flower or even to the spiral pattern of hurricanes (and Galaxies) as proof that Creation takes Fibonacci's numbers into account.

     In this edition of the Desk's Mystery Series we'll look at the numbers themselves and how they are arrived at. Then we'll examine a few of the claims and perhaps a look at something quite unusual.... the truth of the matter. Along with the usual assorted tangents and side trips and even a patron saint or two. But first.....

Just for giggles, the one hundred ninety ninth number is the lineup is:

... ...
Right here and right now, we will state clearly and for the record: The Fibonacci Sequence is only one of an entire range of numerical and mathematical sequences ranging from Natural and Prime Numbers, to Integers and Exponents and the Joyce Sequence which requires about two bottles of aspirins and a prayer to Saint Hubert of Liege (one of the two patrons of Mathematicians) just to read the proof. Just for fun go to a search engine and look up the Perrin or Padovan Sequences.

Huh, that's pretty weird.
