"Poinsot's Pixel Spaceship"

Physics of the gyroscope - seen as an invasion of friendly aliens :)

#SciArt #MathArt #PhysicsArt

Ellipsoid intersecting sphere as the equations say :)

Hand-crafted Javascript code based on #threejs, no AI. MathJax for the LaTex characters.

Physics details in ALT.
Digital collage of code-generated artworks: An purple ellipsoid intersects a blue sphere. Either sutrface is shown as covered with dots in varying colors. Ethereal, sparkling effect. Background: Physics of the force-free gyroscope. The intersection of ellipsoid and sphere represents the path the angular momentum vector traces out, seen from the spinning gyroscope. Equations for constant energy (ellipsoid) and magnitude of constant angular momentum (sphere) are added as LaTex characters, floating over the surface of the ellipsoid.

New geometrical drawing of mine, colored with watercolors.

Spins in quantum mechanics and stereographic projection. "Where does this weird factor 1/2 come from"

#SciArt #MathArt #PhysicsArt

Inspired by Roger Penrose! My 2021 blog post about the math: elkement.art/2021/10/26/s...
Summary in ALT!
Geometrical construction colored with watercolors and annotated with mathematical formulae: Spin in quantum mechanics related to stereographic projection. By elkement 2025. The spin is built from an up and a down component. If you visualize it as an arrow pointing in a certain direction, you can project down the point where the spin punctures the sphere. The image point In the equatorial plane can be interpreted as the ratio of the "amounts" of up and down component (This is not exact terminology.) Playing with the geometry, half of the inclination angle theta of the original arrow shows up again when looking at the projection in the plane. This factor one half is what a lot of weirdness of spins can be traced back to (like: "You need two full rotations to get back to the original state").

I've given the classical cylindrical mug vintage coffee-set vibes ... but with a geeky touch! ☕ 🤓

This mug shows two of my hand-made drawings based on physics, each an eloborate geometrical construction. 📐✏️

scattering amplitudes boils down to the study of intricate integrals associated to such diagrams:: amplituhedron:: polytopes:: Feynman integrals, generalized Euler integrals, or canonical forms of positive geometries, are not merely mathematical abstractions

Physics of the force-free gyroscope:

The energy ellipsoid intersects the angular momentum sphere!

#MathArt #SciArt

There should be a hashtag #PhysicsArt :)
Digital art inspired by the physics of the force-free gyroscope, created with threejs, WebGL, and MathJax: The energy ellipsoid intersects the sphere defined by the fixed magnitude of angular momentum. Both surfaces are rendered as meshes of dots of varying sizes and colors. The equation of the ellipsoid is displayed as extruded floating characters using LaTex typesetting. The whole figure looks like a delicate spaceeship built from a purple ellipsoid and a green sphere.
