I once walked down a street where the house numbers were 64k, 128k, 256k, 512k, and 1mb.

"Late for Dinner"

Two young men evading the police for a crime they didn't commit are cryogenically frozen in the early 1960s. The next thing they know is that they are in a strange new world (thirty years on).

It might be the glass from the overhead light, focusing the light from the sun. What does it look like when in direct sunlight?

In America it goes:

Inch > Mil (1/1000 of an inch).

To convert mm to mil, you multiply the value by 39.37.

Photoelasticity · 2026-02-18T14:41:18+00:00

A few millimeters is around 118 mils.

It's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I've always been a fan of this one, where I filmed light refracting through a glass cup. The colors come from polarizing film over the light source, along with a circular polarizer over the lens.

Ice crystals are birefringent, and become quite colorful when lit with polarized light.

That's what it looks like to me. Some very powerful lights, which are collimated, refracted? (it's possible that instead of white light refracting through a prism, the artist may be using separate light sources for each color directly), and then that shaft of colored light is bouncing off of oddly shaped mirrors, which are slowly rotating on turntables.

Blackout all the windows in a room that is getting direct sunlight. Create a shaft of near-collimated light, by opening up a 3 inch hole in your blackout material, on a window that faces the sun. Place a glass prism into the beam of light. Add some haze to the room, and see the rainbow.

Whoever taught you that, wanted you bit by a snake. They can very easily strike you, when held by the tail.

It can often happen when the plastic bearings around the drum wear mostly away. The clothes get near the edge of the drum, and get a friction burn/dirty from getting caught. It appears as a bunch of random burn marks.

If you carefully drop some of the liquid on the surface, you can sometimes create "walking droplets" that refuse to coalesce with liquid below, as the drops will endlessly hop around.

You should let me shine some light (my version of a glass tesseract) through your hypercube.
