There comes a moment in most of our lives when we realise that some secrets of the universe will remain hidden from us – not because mankind hasn’t discovered them, but because those secrets are encoded in complex mathematics and physics problems that few of us have the talent or patience to understand.
But Beauty of Mathematics, a new video by Yann Pineill & Nicolas Lefaucheux, gives the mathematically challenged a peek into living equations. The animated triptych shows an equation on the left, its quantified schematics in the centre and its real world manifestation on the right. The video is like academic X-ray vision, but in reality, its inspiration was never math or science. It was beauty.
