"Ordered Chaos" - does this sound familiar?
I'm sure my family would say this describes me very well - perhaps the microcosm within the macrocosm...
Fractals as patterns of complex systems
Amazing how fractals' perimeters keep getting infinitely larger as you zoom in, yet the area is finite - worlds within worlds. And even more amazing how that applies to coastlines, mountains, clouds, and even turbulence - crazy.
Consciousness out of chaos?
Consciousness has to arise out of somewhere, and sooner or later all that chaos has to lead to something clicking together...
"Cool experiment"
We checked out the spoons one night at dinner while waiting for food...everyone was surprised! The convex side (back) has the rightside-up image, while the concave (inside bowl) side gives you the upside-down one. We theorized that because of the shape of the spoon, the image is inverted because your chin reflects off the top part that is facing it, while your forehead reflects off the bottom that is opposite - hence an upside-down image.
And while we did not have any actual balls of two different sizes, we theorized about that experiment as well, about what would happen if you had two identical balls, and what would happen if you changed the diameter (increased air drag) or the mass (greater pull of gravity) of the balls...
