Limitless lilting landscapes of light
irridescently emerging, elegantly inverting and mellifluently merging.
Mesophase geometries reveal resonant chromatic complements
interlaced in magnetic dream spirals.
Prismatic tides and horizons bursting with beauty
glimpsed behind the ethereal veils of time.
A second look at brain hemisphere asymmetries and the biology of culture.
Beautiful 1-minute animation from Australia:
Trippy video of what riding on a light-speed roller coaster might look light.

Amazing, trippy artistic portrayal of a story based on a premise by Terence McKenna.
This was the technology portrayed in the 6th season episode of House entitled Black Hole.
The potential of it is staggering.
From description:
The left clip is a segment of the movie that the subject viewed while in the magnet. The right clip shows the reconstruction of this movie from brain activity measured using fMRI. The reconstruction was obtained using only each subject’s brain activity and a library of 18 million seconds of random YouTube video. (In brief, the algorithm processes each of the 18 million clips through the brain model, and identifies the clips that would have produced brain activity as similar to the measured brain activity as possible. The clips used to fit the model, those used to test the model and those used to reconstruct the stimulus were entirely separate.) Brain activity was sampled every one second, and each one-second section of the viewed movie was reconstructed separately.

Through actual text from commercials for the anti-depressant drug known as Abilify, High Times, in association with York Productions, asks the question, “If pot did this to you, would you smoke it?”
This video is based on recent findings made by astronomers using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer of a pulsing “heartbeat” coming from the binary star-black hole system GRS-1915.
The link made to the famous Yeats poem “The Second Coming” does not reference the complex religious and historical imagery of this famous poem. Rather, it’s designed to evoke the violent rise of a cosmic monster, a black hole.
Here’s a brief analysis of the Yeats poem:http://www.yeatsvision.com/SecondNotes.html
All around the universe, energy roars out of cauldrons of matter… in the form of winds… jets… shock waves. While gravity… pulling matter in, smashes and pulverizes it.
In the crucible of this epic conflict… our universe builds majestic galaxies…. stars that can shine for trillions of years… and planets that may well produce life. There are times, though, when these forces lock, and… “the ceremony of innocence is drowned.”
In the plane of our galaxy, GRS 1915 is a star with a black hole bound together by gravity. This 14 solar mass black hole is steadily drawing mass from its companion.
Two space telescopes…. the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer… recorded pulses of x-ray light… one every 50 seconds. What’s causing this strange heartbeat?
Matter swirling into the black hole forms a disk that pushes in close to the black hole’s event horizon. Gas, racing around the monster this close is thought to approach 50% the speed of light.
Heat and magnetic energy build to a critical level. “The center cannot hold.” The disk erupts… blasting some inflowing matter back into space… at a rate some 25 times greater than what the black hole can swallow. This will go on until the star is stripped bare.
“The darkness drops again.”
“And what rough beast, its hour come round at last…”
This is a clip from Duncan Trussell’s Comedy Central Pilot “Thunderbrain.”
New mandelbox trip from xlace, this time with flying lights to help illuminate this vast and strangely familiar dimension:
Wow.
Incredibly beautiful (and unsettling) statistical visualizations in this jaw-dropping presentation with extensive implications.
