  1. well damn casek you are gonna get back on seekings bad side for giving away his magic trick ( good thing you posted it first cause i was just about to do it also

     

    Skience is no substitute for real live jesus toast, it may taste the same but it wont help you separate the wheat from the chaff.

  2. You may notice some bannings have occurred. this time they are temporary but should serve as a bit of a reminder that shit talking and the like should be kept to real life. If things continue the bannings will become permanent. If you have issues PM and we can discuss it like gentlemen.

     

     

    on another note;

    WHEN DOES THE NEW WIRE START?

  3. Apparently "Jack the Dripper" captured some aesthetic dimension—some abiding logic in human perception—beyond the scope of his critics. That logic, says physicist and art historian Richard Taylor, lies not in art but in mathematics—specifically, in chaos theory and its offspring, fractal geometry.

     

    Fractals may seem haphazard at first glance, yet each one is composed of a single geometric pattern repeated thousands of times at different magnifications, like Russian dolls nested within one another. They are often the visible remains of chaotic systems—systems that obey internal rules of organization but are so sensitive to slight changes that their long-term behavior is difficult to predict. If a hurricane is a chaotic system, then the wreckage strewn in its path is its fractal pattern.

     

    Some fractal patterns exist only in mathematical theory, but others provide useful models for the irregular yet patterned shapes found in nature—the branchings of rivers and trees, for instance. Mathematicians tend to rank fractal dimensions on a series of scales between 0 and 3. One-dimensional fractals (such as a segmented line) typically rank between 0.1 and 0.9, two-dimensional fractals (such as a shadow thrown by a cloud) between 1.1 and 1.9, and three-dimensional fractals (such as a mountain) between 2.1 and 2.9. Most natural objects, when analyzed in two dimensions, rank between 1.2 and 1.6.
