    Have you seen some of the crazy ferrofluid videos out there? Ferrofluid Sculpture being a good example. It's this, only the filings are in oil so they can flow, and do weird things because of magnetic field flux concentration.

    All these religious images are getting me so frustrated, to the point where I feel that my sanity is switching off...

    It's not a direct reference to your direct reference, I was talking in general about the whole concept of Meka.

    And please, Muhammed, truth is not something you find in a book that has nothing to do with truth.

    Beautiful as this image is, it makes me think that Maxwell's equations capture the quintessence of this beauty because they explain, and predict, why the image is the way it is.

    Not only iron fillings or human congregations, but a lot of other natural structures, like ant nests, or fish schools, have this radial symmetry and beauty http://www.fishingfury.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/barracuda-bismarck-sea-500x375.jpg
