Any oscillator — a pendulum, a spring, a firefly, a human heart cell — wants to match up with its neighbors. Mathematicians recently showed that synchronization is inevitable in expander graphs, a type of network found in many areas of science. quantamagazine.org/new-proof-show…

This is called relief inversion. The two pictures are exactly the same, just rotated upside down. Most people have a subconscious interpretation of images based on the assumption that objects are illuminated from above.  We expect the light source to come from the upper left

Mathematicians are studying elliptic curve patterns that resemble murmurations of starlings. Nina Zubrilina, a doctoral student at Princeton, was the first to prove a formula that explains reasons for the patterns. quantamagazine.org/elliptic-curve…

The classical response from Ayurveda practitioners or Ayurveda sympathizers (and other alternative medicine practitioners) when debating the role of alternative medicine in healthcare is to "go and study Ayurveda or read Ayurveda" to understand it better. This is a logical

This GeoGebra app by Walther Stuzka, a retired physics teacher at a high school in Vienna, Austria, lets you explore the famous brachistochrone problem (path of quickest descent): geogebra.org/classic/jxesaf… For background, see this Grant Sanderson video : youtube.com/watch?v=Cld0p3…

Visualization of Nicomachus's Theorem The sum of the first n cubes is the square of the sum of the first nth number, or 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + ... + n³ = (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n)²
