Complex Analysis – elkemental Force

No Loose Ends

I don’t like loose ends. But my physics/math art curves have often been cut off, like fraying fabric. I have tried to let them taper off smoothly, letting them fade in the dark, but I would prefer closed lines. The real and imaginary towers have flat roofs. When using software, I tilt the structures, so…

Field Lines and Potentials – Reality and Imagination Reloaded

I am creating Physics Art very much like I create Found Poetry. I need tough constraints, silly rules, and tools not designed for art. In a world of perfect renderings and deep fakes, I restrict myself to programming parametric curves. Just lines. There are millions of beautiful parametric functions you could choose from. So, I…

True Colors

I have picked two colors. They shall shine in the dark. ~~~ Another version of my series Reality and Imagination. I used artistic license when tweaking the color values.

Boosted

I have been playing with the geometry of special relativity again! The light cone signifies the invariance of the speed of light. There is a notion of length in four-dimensional spacetime, defined as c2t2 – x2 – y2 – z2. Surfaces of constant length are 4-dimensional hyperboloids. Light rays are null rays, as light travels…

Complex Alien Eclipse

My colorful complex function lived in a universe of white light. I turned off the light. Turned it into its negative. Expected it to look bleak. Like thin white bones on black canvas, cartoon skeletons of imaginary alien creatures. But it is more like the total solar eclipse I watched in 1999. There is interference,…

Spins, Rotations, and the Beauty of Complex Numbers

Lines and Circles

I poked at complex function 1/z, and its real and imaginary parts look like magical towers. When you look at these towers from above or below, you see sections of perfect circles. This is hinting at some underlying simplicity. Using the map 1/z, another complex number – w=1/z – is mapped to z. Four dimensions…

Reality and Imagination

Grey and colorful. Cutting through each other. Chasing each other. Meeting in the center, leaning on each other, forming an infinite line. ~ Reality and Imagination: Real and imaginary part of complex function 1/z: ~ The real part of 1/z is painted in shades of grey, the imaginary part in rainbow colors. Plots are created…

Super Motivational Function

I’ve presented a Motivational Function, a while back. It is infinitely flat at the zero point: all its derivatives are zero there. Yet, it manages to lift its head – as it is not analytic at zero! If you think of it as a function of a complex argument, its weirdness becomes more obvious. Turn…

Motivational Function

Deadly mutants are after us. What can give us hope? This innocuous-looking function is a sublime light in the dark. It proves you can always recover. If your perseverance is infinite. As x tends to zero, the exponent tends to minus infinity. The function’s value at zero tends to zero. It is a zero value…
