Awesome. =) When I did my video on this I thought they were Fibonacci spiral patterns...you just confirmed it =) Can you give an explanation as to why this happens?
at first i thought that the angle at which the camera was held relative to the tv determined the curvature of the spiral, however, the spiral always enters at the same kind of curvature, so I can't give an explanation on why it seemingly makes a fibonacci spiral effect each time. this spiral exists in so many places and things around us which what makes it fascinating for me
I feel the same way. There is something amazing about the Golden Ratio that is difficult to comprehend, but I am sure it has to do with more than what we are exposed to here in this world.
Sorry to hear you've been sick, mate. You need a midwinter break. Ten days on a warm Caribbean island with a warm Caribbean woman. Guaranteed to spiral your fractals.
I didn't say it was a "new" discovery, and i know that it can be done with mirrors...the effect I was going for was only possible with the av cables..you know, the delayed effect...You like to burst my bubble dont you!?
I've always loved using parabolic line drawings to create almost 3 dimensional looking effects in drawings, this shape(curved spiral) I've always been fond of, but drawing parallels between science, nature and technology is something that intrigues me a whole lot more, something that I hoped I conveyed in this vid.
it can be done with two mirrors too

This is fascinating stuff. I'm going to show this to my middle school students as an example of natural inquiry.

Mesmerizing. How do you do it?

I take it as a compliment! I've always thought of being a teacher, perhaps it'll be a second or third career down the road

This is an excellent effect, I think before Swen disappears we'll have to recreate this on my TV and follow up.

Phil, you've read my mind, I think I'll add the carribean island and woman on to my list of things to do now

it would be a lot simpler if you just used a mirror and place it against another mirror..you get the same thing.. is that you new discovery ? :D
