You Never Know
... when obscure knowledge comes in handy! You can dismantle an old gutter without efforts, and without any special tools: Just by gently setting it into twisted motion, effectively applying ~1Hz torsion waves that would lead to fatigue break within a few minutes. I knew my stint in steel research in the 1990s would finally be good for something. If you want to create a meme from this and tag it with Work Smarter Not Harder, don't forget to give me proper credits.
Spheres in a Space with Trillions of Dimensions
I don't venture into speculative science writing - this is just about classical statistical mechanics; actually about a special mathematical aspect. It was one of the things I found particularly intriguing in my first encounters with statistical mechanics and thermodynamics a long time ago - a curious feature of volumes. I was mulling upon how to 'briefly motivate' the calculation below in a comprehensible way, a task I might have failed at years ago already, when I tried to use […]https://elkement.art/2017/06/17/spheres-in-a-space-with-trillions-of-dimensions/
Bumblebees and Ellipsoids (Poinsot’s Paper Spaceship #3)
In the movie Ice Age, Manny the Mammoth says he is not fat - just poofy! It is just the fur! I feel the same must be true for bumblebees - they are fluffy, but not really fat! And yes, these were the things going through my mind, when I created this geometric drawing: A sphere is intersected by a "fat" ellipsoid that is neither an oblate UFO nor an elongated zeppelin. Poinsot's Paper Spaceship #3 - Bumblebee by elkement 2025. Geometric drawing of an ellipsoid intersecting a sphere […]https://elkement.art/2025/07/25/bumblebees-and-ellipsoids-poinsots-paper-spaceship-3/
