Savant Syndrome, Man sees Numbers as fractals, Beautiful Mind, Jason Padgett, Hunting dimension nova

This is a time lapse film of Jason D. Padgett, a mathematician with Aquired Savant Syndrome hand drawing a quantum snowflake fractal. Jason sees all numbers as shapes. In 2005 he discovered a method for hand drawing fractals of any shape using relativistic limits and the pure geometry of space time. We hope you enjoy.

Some videos about Jason are at the below you tube links:

I freakin' LOVE the capture of the tensor displacement relative to the motion of the convergent centers that suggests a discrete proportional relationship of force. Sweet! The fact that you did this manually makes me feel like a slug. Thanks for sharing this.

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL SPECIALLY WHEN IM LISTENING TO THE VACCINES - SOMEBODY ELSE'S CHILD

When the video first started I was going to say "FAKE" but now I'm not so sure.

[JASONQUANTUM1]

@softan That is true, Maxwell Planck derived the constants but we are not close yet to being able to observe them in any way. But when the math is so perfect and also works in physics it does tend to be right. It was thought that blackholes could not be proven to exist and we now know they do. But I am always open to what ever turns out to be true in the future when experiments can finally confirm or disprove something.

[JASONQUANTUM1]

@fractalgem..and I love your screen name :) Any one who likes fractals is ok in my book ;)

[JASONQUANTUM1]

@fractalgem I love thinking about limits because I belive that is where calculus and physics have a very, very slight difference. For instance, Inst. Velocity and Acceleration says delta x approaches zero (derivatives) but in the real universe I don't think you can subdivide space infinitely. You can only divide to the Planck length. A better way to think of it is that the width of subintervals under a curve don't get ifinitely small they go to the Planck length and that is the observable limit

[JASONQUANTUM1]

@fractalgem You mean the limit as x approaches zero of sin x/x That is one of the first ones we learned in Calculus I. It is a nice one to see because it ALWAYS equals one so you can remove it from the equation because anything multiiplied by one equals itself. When I calculate Pi I use f(x)=xsin180/x (degree mode on your TI-84) or f(x)=xsinPi/x then you let x go to infinity and as x approaches infinity f(x) approaches Pi. Geometrically its a shape that approaches a circle forever. I love limits

[fractalgem]

that may have been a tiny bit hasty.

still....what's your understanding of things like limit(x to 0) {sinx/x}?

[fractalgem]

@JASONQUANTUM1

to me, they are actually names for the same thing-except as a matter of conventions, and in terms of ease of use. (I always hated the term "ratio" as a kid. )

...what do you mean fractions do not exist? e/PI has just as much existence (or lack thereof. whatever) as 3/4, has just as much existence as the squareroot of -1=i.. they're all abstractions.

I love abstractions. next up for me: infinite entry matrices/infinite dimensional spaces.
