Patterns in physics

Given its myriad of objects and phenomena, understanding means to see connections and relations between what may seem unrelated and very different. Thus, a falling apple and the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. In this way, many things “fall into place” in terms of a few basic ideas, principles (laws of physics) and patterns. As with many an intellectual activity, recognizing patterns and analogies, and metaphorical thinking are essential also in physics.

James Clerk Maxwell, one of the greatest physicists, put it thus: “In a pun, two truths lie hid under one expression. Indeed, physics employs many metaphors, from a pendulum’s swing and a coin’s two-sidedness, examples already familiar in everyday language, to some new to itself. Rigor is essential because analogies can also mislead, be false or fruitless. Physicists use the word “representation” to describe these alternatives that are like languages in everyday parlance.

It’s sad, no? Nearly 4 years ago, Chris got his first iPhone. I’ve made and published a couple of cases (1.0 + 2.0), but both have been very much on the feminine side of things. This is a great gift (especially if you know that the giftee is getting a new phone or iPod touch!) This tutorial can easily be adapted to be used with industrial felt or vinyl.
