Circles to Circles #2. A Friendly Death Star.

My art should speak for itself, as an abstract geometric drawing. But if you are so inclined, you can decode the math. Mathematics shows up twice: In the thing I am depicting, and in the techniques I am using to draw it geometrically. The series Circles of Circles is about stereographic projection of circles onto…
Motivational Warp Core Explosion

I know, I need to get back to art based on physics! But I am taking a detour! I am collecting ideas and building blocks – art based on mathematics. The function powering the warp core is not that complicated. I guess, you could find related physics. But when my starting point was math, it…

On the Relation of Jurassic Park and Alien Jelly Flowing through Hyperspace

Yes, this is a serious physics post – no. 3 in my series on Quantum Field Theory. I promised to explain what Quantization is. I will also argue – again – that classical mechanics is unjustly associated with steampunk pictures of clocks and trains. It looks more like representations of time-lines in Back to the…
The Falling Slinky and Einstein’s Elevator

I have not known that this toy has a name at all. The ‘spring’ that can walk down the stairs is called Slinky! We all know how the Slinky walks – but how does it fall? This video might come as a surprise! The authoritative article on The Falling Slinky is this one: Modelling a…

And spam on blogs is (too) polite these days. You could create tons of flattering poems similar to the following: your website is like an encyclopaedia…
2012: The Year We Make Contact

What happened? Actually all of my private and professional milestones have been captured essentially in the new ‘tagline’ I added to my professional profiles: I am a physicist running a small company together with my husband. Following Star Trek terminology he is Chief Engineer and I am Science Officer. We work on planning and optimizing…
