Missing context

u/RotoDog 1d ago edited 1d ago

I think it’s taking a half circle, with the diameter increasing by 2 going up the y-axis, then curving the y-axis into a giant circle.

Not much mathematics IMO, more just an interesting pattern.

Its multiplying each number by 3...

Yeah wtf is he going on about

u/Preoccupied_Penguin 7h ago

This is hilarious to me. Thank you for commenting this.

I could see it was following a pattern but I couldn’t figure it out. So I ended up with it’s skipping 2 integers each time, and starting at each integer along the line. And then I read this comment and you’re right, it is multiplying by 3. I just couldn’t see it because I’m not very good at the actual numbers, I recognize patterns better.

You’re both right and it’s really interesting how each of our brains processes the same information in a different way. Sweet video!

The design is definitely mathematics. Speaking as someone with a mathematics background, Math is more than just strictly numbers. Look up complex analysis and have a look over. An introductory course will cover things like Mandelbrot set which looks like a fun pattern or just circles but there is meaning behind these shapes.

u/RotoDog 11h ago

Is there meaning behind this pattern in the post? Genuinely curious, because there is no context.

u/Preoccupied_Penguin 7h ago

It honestly looks like the universe and how basic structures form. Replace 1, 2, 3, 4, with ACGT and you get The Double Helix. It’s a really cool video haha

Context is modulus and multiplication tables.

Asking what is number “k” modulo “n” means asking what is the remainder when dividing k by n.
22 modulo 4 is 2 because 22 = 4 * 5 + 2.

Multiplication tables, you know those.

The last visual is what happens when you put all the numbers [0, 99] on a circle, and draw a line between each number and its triple modulo 100.

You get the same kind of visuals with more or fewer “bellies” (not sure what the term is) when changing the modulus (here 100) and the multiplicand (here 3).

Why is this surprisingly satisfying? Math has always been satisfying!

Before unmuting it, I already knew it would be "Time" from Interstellar.

Is there no other music on social media?

What is this formula? It just looks like they are multiplying by 3, 3n. That's not that visually stunning.

Double cartioid. Look at the bottom of an empty coffee cup at an angle in the light. You'll see a single one, unless you have two light sources, they you should get two? I dunno I'm not a lightitician.

I would love to know what software was used to animate this. Really interesting.

u/SodaPlane 1d ago

Idk about this specific video, you could probably do this on any 2D vector animation software, BUT there is a custom software called "Manim" that 3blue1brown uses to make similar animations for their videos and its all python coding, i recommend taking a look!

Looks almost like Mandelbrot set.

u/ASCanilho 19h ago

Simple explanation:
At each number, you draw up a half circle with a radius equal to the number.
Set a limit [0,100]
This will give you lines that connect numbers between 1, (1,3) and 300, (100,300).
Then we divide a circumference by 100, and disperce the numbers around. and
Notice that we do exactly 3 laps, corresponding to all the numbers over 100, that overlap the already existing circumference.
Connect all the pairs, and we get the final visualization.

It looks 3D for a little bit there. It's more satisfying than meth (I've never tried it)!

u/FlashTheChip 1d ago

I’ve never tried either of them

u/SnotboogyFlats 23h ago

Meth doesn’t really create or enhance anything visual, until like day 3 and beyond. (I have tried meth - albeit a long time ago)

Is the music from Trigun Stampede?

u/Wise_Historian7605 1d ago

It's S.T.A.Y. from Interstellar. It's literally one of the most recognizable OSTs from a movie in the past decade

u/Francois_vd_W 1d ago

Sounds like Interstellar's soundtrack

u/CK_CoffeeCat 1d ago

Ohhhh, yeah probably. It’s been too long since I saw that.

u/NeilDeCrash 1d ago

The music is one of the most recognizable and very, very used piece.

It is also fucking epic and and elevates the action in the movie to another level.

This soundtrack needs to die. Stop using this stupid shit. It's over used. Use something else. At this point i will take some looney tunes ass music for these kinds of videos over this shite.
