24-Cell
« on: February 09, 2011, 11:13:15 pm »
For your mind bending/hurting potential, I present to you, the 24-cell.


If that didn't hurt your brain enough, try the 120-cell.


There is one for the 600-cell, but the translucency seems a bit off on that one so it is hard to see the complex "insides".

It's okay I guess, but the stuff they got in R'lyeh is WAY cooler.

I hear if you cross your eyes just right and stare at Cthulhu you'll see a sailboat. Well, right before your brain turns inside out from the horror of gazing upon an elder god. Pretty neat, eh?

If you think that's fun, you totally need to watch this: http://dimensions-math.org/

To add to my previous post now that I'm not half asleep, I recommend those videos to anyone who's remotely interested in math (particularly geometry/projections and how things in n-dimensional spaces relate as n changes) or anyone who just likes it when pretty patterns happen on their screen.  To someone who already knows a bit about the subject, they may start off a bit slow, but it's worth watching from the beginning just to see how they tie little bits of history into it and how the rather simple ideas at the beginning eventually get extended (in a surprisingly straightforward way) into four dimensions.  It's one of the easiest to follow ways I've seen of presenting a very difficult concept, and the projections they use for the four-dimensional objects just look neat (and are a lot easier to make sense of in some ways than the animations on Wikipedia).
