Visual Sensory "blank-outs"? Is it true that if you attempt to visually perceive something that is so strange and beyond your personal understanding, you will not be able to "see" it? In other words: If your brain doesn't already have that particular image stored somewhere and you try to view...

I am learning calculus and I liked the idea of how limits are represented visually, as a removable discontinuity (a single point gap) in a function of x. When we started studying derivatives I immediately came to the conclusion that a derivative is like a single curve "gap" in a function of x...

Greetings, I'm trying to illustrate how nuclear fusion would "look" from the perspective of two nuclei that are quantum entangled. I have a very limited knowledge of quantum theory but I can imagine how two nuclei might be illustrated as a waveform consisting of two functions in...

Hello all, I hope I'm posting in the right sub-forum here, because I'm quite new and don't really know my way around yet. Not to mention that the topic encompasses quite a few different areas. The subject is nukes in space. Or more specifically, the visual effects they should produce...

I am trying to write a position vector for point D I originally thought that the z component was 0...but now common sense is telling me that it can't be...the rope must be sagging. Are my first to components correct or am I visualizing this incorrectly? : 8i+7j-(something)k <---or...

this is supposed to be visual test on if you are mainly left brained or right brained, it a woman spinning around a point, and if you see it spinning clockwise, you are right brain, if you see it anticlockwise, you are left brained. It nearly always goes right for me. I'm not sure how accurate...

I've always had trouble visualizing what voltage is, and how it relates to other electric concepts that are easy to visualise such as the colomb or the amp. The best I can guess is that voltage is the difference between two charge densitys, therefore voltage is measured in charge/volume but I...

I'm currently taking calculus ("differential calculus of several variables") and I really dislike math (even though I used to like math), but it's required for my major (comp sci). My teacher can't draw and does not show us graphics of 3-D graphs and functions, so I have a hard time 'seeing'...

I so happen to like visual brain teasers. There's a lack, not to say a total absence, of these on this forum and I thought it'd be a good idea to start this thread so to undo the injustice. I was thinking maybe we could have some mods readily check this thread to validate image postings. That...

Lets say I am standing in the middle of the street in Newyork city. I can visualize ANYTHING. Not just a picture but a full movie like motion. Like water gushing into the city and I can see the waves crashing into the buildings and the physics are perfect. I can just sit here and dream of...

People usually say that pictures tell more than 1000 words. Is that still true in mathematics...? I think so. Let me first say what i mean by 'visual proof'. Let's say we have an identity. To prove it's true one may write from a line to more than one page. But what if one was able to write only...
