I think the time has come to add another book to this thread. Frank Wilczek has asked the same question. In fact he has written a book about it "A Beautiful Question" There are many exquisite colour plates, here are a couple of samples, relating to Physics, the the ambit is very wide from sweet stalls in Barcelona to quark containment to mosque decoration.

Thank you for all the help got it i can post now Sorry about that lol it was in the profile under birthday toggled off just tried to post test and still cant see it edit: its works now

Exactly. Tweeting to offer bail for future arrests? I think you might see it more for what it is if Republican had offered it. Clearly you don't understand what a balanced view is. A balanced view is being able to look at what Kamala Harris tweeted and recognizing it as wrong, and looking at what Trump did leading up to Jan 6 and recognizing it as much, much worse. A ridiculously imbalanced view would be claiming Kamala's tweet was fine because 93% of her other posts were fine (just an example pulled out of thin air...I realize no one here would make that claim)

Ah, @studiot. Thank you. Whenever I'm reminded of this thread I wonder why nobody so far --including myself-- has dedicated a post to mathematical/geometrical beauty. Now you have. Thanks again.

Here’s another idea for some potential inspiration

Repeating this does not make it true. Or anybody that has studied Newtonian physics No, it was in response to “We conclude gravity(a product of time) as a force is an illusion” and the way you could tell is that in the very next sentence, I made it clear that this was what I was asking about. I’d document this, but frankly you’re just not worth the effort More than a little. And you got a lot wrong. (you admit to not knowing physics, so one might wonder where the confidence that you know what you’re talking about comes from) Timekeeping hasn’t been based on earth rotation for 50 years, and the notion that there is some universal time went out the window more than 100 years ago. Forward, not backward.If you don’t think so, post a response to this yesterday I chose SI units. The length of a meter is arbitrary, as is the number of charges that make up a coulomb of charge, and also the length of the second. Units are a convention, used for convenience. The length of a solar day isn’t constant, which is why it was discarded and replaced by the mean solar day. But that’s not constant, either. The length of an hour was also variable in some timekeeping systems, where there were always 12 hours of sunlight and 12 of darkness. It’s interesting stuff.

Here is an example to get you started. It's one of my favourite pieces of a cappella polyphony, one I very much enjoyed singing over ten years ago now, when I was with an early music chamber choir in The Hague. The video accompanying it represents the 4 vocal lines. I think the way they have done it is beautiful. It also actually helps the listener disentangle the intertwined lines of the music:

If you like music, how about starting from visualization of staff.. ? Make generic C++/Java class Note with attribute taking enum { C, D, .... , H } as parameter, and second one integer with octave, and third one with length. e.g. new Note( Note.C, 5, Note.Half ) will be C-5 half-note.. methods: set/get C,D... H (from enum) set/get octave integer.. set/get length (whole note, half note, etc.) (from enum) set/get frequency (convert human readable e.g. C-5 to corresponding the real frequency https://www.google.com/search?q=notes+frequencies ) helper public static function Parse( std::string &string ); generating Note object from given string. Then make class which has dynamic list of such notes (Staff class). (template class? List<Note> / ArrayList<Note> in Java?) Then make class which is taking Staff object as argument and outputs PNG image. Draw 5 horizontal lines with user defined space between them, and then iterate through the all elements in the staff object, and for each note object, draw it, with appropriate shape and horizontal position (index in staff) and vertical position (octave and note), with appropriate design (load PNG with predefined templates or generate them by yourself using drawing functions?). Make parameters fully controllable by the user. Sizes, spaces, distances, thicknesses etc. Then you can take staff as argument in command-line like in Linux pipe: echo "C-5, D-5, E-5" | genstaff image.png Then you can make website, on your dedicated server, where from e.g. PHP/CGI code you can execute bash script/command-line, taking HTML form input with notes, which will generate PNG and show staff to the website client.. It should not take you more than a just a few hours for all this project. Teacher (or other students) will be able to visit your website, enter notes in text input field in HTML form and instantly see generated staff (use AJAX/jQuery to parse HTML form and call genstaff command, and send to web-browser client to see result), so user has not have to click any button, but see result instantly.. Fun project. A joint-venture of several technologies C/C++/Java/HTML/CSS/AJAX/jQuery/PHP.. Sounds it would require FT/FFT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform Boring.. (IMHO) ...unless you make a website (Android/iOS app?) that uses a microphone to capture sound from the user's room and then analyzes it in real time visualizing something.. If you do the first (on the top) project with FT/FFT, you can generate staff with notes automatically from the given music (recorded by microphone?) example.... and show it to the user.. a multi-million dollar website if you achieve this.. Can be done this week..

I prefer opinion, but fine, my fantasy as debated by DC judges as to the extent of it. 93% without violence not 96 without incident (I have no doubt it was at least in part a typo, no biggie) 100%. What do you feel is acceptable? Is Jan 6 acceptable if you combine it with 99 Ghandi like protests? Actually I think it does. Demonstrate some honesty in what they can readily see and maybe credibility is gained in what they can't. Or just lie to them and let Trump and his ilk take advantage... “If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota,” Harris tweeted on June 1, just days after the Memorial Day death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Kamala Harris June 2020 Do you need more? Or perhaps you feel Harris's tweet only referred to those that feel they might be arrested unfairly, after doing nothing illegal? Well actually no. My statement should not require that.

My review of the Sun: One star

So you're telling me that Jan 6 would have been okay if grouped in with thousands of peaceful GOP meetings? Or would they have had to be holding signs saying "defund the police"? In other words...stop trying to hide the violence using percentages. In absolute terms violence at BLM protests exceeded that of Jan 6...and I'm not defending Jan 6. Nor have I ever. In fact of said from the start (back in January 2020) that it can't be compared to the equivalent protest violence due to the danger it represents. (If it sounds to you like I have...check your bias meter) Yes. Thank you. That was what I suggested...as a possible contributing factor...not as the main cause (due to what I considered OT...and I didn't think it was that controversial a point...or hard to understand) Sure. Highlight your fantasy...we will never know for sure as unlikely as that seems...I think Trump et al would have found it more difficult to recruit useful idiots...but who knows? The truly dangerous ones might have been left more exposed.

In your biased mind yes. Literally no. If I had wanted to blame all of it on the BLM protesters I would have said so. Some of the protests were allowed to become violent, These are the ones that have been compared in terms of violence to Jan 6, not the 93% that remained peaceful. The distinct difference for Jan 6 is the threat to the capitol, and I would guess that most of the protesters there were there to protest and got carried away as a mob in the same manner as many of the BLM protesters. Some of the worst of the riots were from the presence of ANTIFA or right wing extremists, or both. None of this excuses any of the violence, or especially those taking advantage of it, or hoping or planning to. But to Mistermacks point, it's important to not just hold the bad actors accountable, it's important to make it well known that will be the case going forward, and with appropriate security where possible. Anything to back that up. (and please read it first, and note if it's based on justifying some of the violence and condemning other violence)

Not really.. Python can be created in any text file and/or generated on demand by other script or application.. e.g. echo >script.py "python script content" then execute it.. Any programming language code can be written in any text editor (as long as you don't start using UTF-8/Unicode, some text editors don't support Unicode, which will result in damage of the code) The code is written in text file format (exceptions can be counted on one lumberjack hand, e.g. Amiga Amos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMOS_(programming_language) ) It could be, but it is not really webmaster friendly editor. Try mousepad on Linux, or ConTEXT/NotePad+ on Windows. Terminal/shell can be "HTML editor" too.. you just do: echo >index.html "<html>.....</html>" Not really. HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language, which has nothing to do with programming languages, apart of suffix in the name. It's just a way to encode tags. HTML can be interpreted only by web-browser. Python is a way more robust and general purpose language..
