Since 1979, artist Felice Varini has experimented with perspective, painting seemingly random surfaces that look fragmented and disjointed
MinutePhysiscs explains the mathematics behind why pianos can’t be perfectly tuned.

To try to convey the vastness of space, Alphonse Swinehart created this animation to illustrate that even at the blistering speed of light, it takes over 43 minutes just…
John Edmark, an inventor/designer/artist that teaches design at Stanford, has created a series of 3D printed “Fibonacci Zoetrope” sculptures that come to life when spun under a strobe light or are captured by a video camera with a very fast shutter speed. In the hypnotic video above, the 3D printed sculptures are spinning at…
Seen here is a huge flock of starlings (known as a murmuration), soaring above the skies of Utrecht in the Netherlands. While the science behind their uncanny coordination is not fully understood, what is known is at the individual level, when a neighbour moves, so do you. The hypnotic movements were captured earlier this…
At 17x17x17 this is the world’s largest rubik’s cube. It took Kenneth Brandon 7.5 hours to solve this beast but you can watch a condensed 6-minute time-lapse version here. For those curious, you can check out the real-time version here (the video is just shy of 8 hours long). So just how many different…
