STORY: The Levitating Timepiece
New York-based innovation and design company Flyte has created a magnetic clock. The designed object was built with three modes. With the Journey setting, you can set your mechanism to a specific date, watching the magnetic ball travel along the circular piece of wood until the ball reaches an upcoming moment such as a vacation or birth of a child. Selecting Clock allows you to use the object more like a traditional timepiece, and finally Timer acts as a short term countdown for kitchen prep or time out. You can find STORY on Kickstarter.

hey, is there a reason for why the inverse square law is so common? and why do the nuclears not follow it?
i think it is because of the geometry of the 3D space we perceive macroscopically -
the symmetry of the sphere leads to interaction with a surface for most which leads us to the area as we increase and decrease the radius treating it as a variable.
for example take the light intensity. or the force exerted by an electric charge.
the number of photons found are spread across the surface where the radius increases at the speed of light considering every light source is essentially, macroscopically a point source. similarly for an electric charge. on large scales, it works as a point charge too...
and why do the nuclears (if you mean the nuclear forces not follow it) then I think it is the same reason because they do not follow the three dimensional rules (talking only about spatial dimensions here) that we as gigantic bodies follow. or basically follow on a classical base.
if you consider string theory or quantum loop gravity, there are already higher dimensions, even only mathematically as of now, at play.
i hope this does answer your question and if there is anything you would like to add, I would be glad. plus if I find something, this was only at the top of my head rn, I will share it with the tumblr class-

kuchh ghalat ho toh batana and maaf karna okay??
When you arrange for an MRI appointment, make sure you're aware of potential side-effects afterwards…
(Reposting this one in particular because I'm actually going in for another MRI today!)
Sachiko Kodama: The Art and Science of Ferrofluid
Sachiko Kodama explores within her artwork ‘The Art and Science of Ferrofluid’ the pulsating nature of science and amorphous character of time and space based on the shape of magnetic waves…
The Japanese female artist Sachiko Kodama was born in 1970. As a child she spent a lot of time in the southernmost part of Japan. This area is rich in tropical flowers and plants, edged by the sea, and washed with warm rain. Sachiko loved art and literature from an early age, but also had a strong interest in science.
After Graduating Physics course in the Faculty of Science at Hokkaido University, in 1993, Sachiko matriculated in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Tsukuba, studying Plastic Art and Mixed Media. Then she completed Master’s and Doctoral Program in Art and Design at the University of Tsukuba. She studied Computer and Holography Art in her doctoral research.
‘Ferrofluids appear as black fluid and are made by dissolving nanoscale ferromagnetic particles in a solvent such as water or oil. They remain strongly magnetic even in a fluid condition which makes them more flexible than iron sand.’
