vgomez23: After the lecture about depth, movement and tricks to influence perspective, I immediately remembered this GIF. This seriously freaks me out when I see it—it’s amazing. Nothing in that room is as it appears from the angle in which it is shot and to think that someone figured out all the sizes that the props in the room needed to be to create this illusion amazes me.

I took the drums and guitar off of Don’t Stop Me Now so you could appreciate the vocal work of Freddie Mercury in a more stripped down context

Please also appreciate the amazing precision of the rest of Queen. That entire band could throw down vocally.

Freddie’s voice was inarguably the best voice rock has ever known, but all of Queen could sing which is yet one more reason the band sits on a different plane than most rock bands.

Lily’s Theme - Alexandre Desplat (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2)

jtotheizzoe: fuckyeahfluiddynamics: Here a ferrofluid climbs a spiral steel structure sitting on an electromagnet. Magnetic field lines emanating from the sculpture’s edges tend to push the ferrofluid out into long spikes—part of the normal field instability—but surface tension resists. The short, somewhat squat spikes we see are the balance struck between these opposing forces. Though known for their wild appearance, ferrofluids appear many in common applications, including hard drives, speakers, and MRI contrast agents. Researchers have also recently suggested they might help understand the behavior of the multiverse. (Photo credit: P. Davis et al.) Ferrofluids will never stop fascinating me.
