The indoor model looks like this:

My joke was going to be that really, you both can and cannot capture a king when it’s in a superposition.

Interesting. Maybe since a hexagon is more circular it’s less likely to roll up than a square and thus creates a better solid reflection.

FEMA is there too but, our Governor drug his feet for so long declaring an official emergency that they’re just now getting set up.

There are three forces (that I know of) that help trees bring water up from their roots to their leaves.
1. Capillary action: Probably the smallest of the forces. Basically the adhesion of the polar water molecules with the xylem of the trees draws the water up.
2. Siphoning: The leaves allow water to evaporate, which…

Love that! It looks like you diffused the light more in that one. What objective are you adapting to your camera?

See I enjoy the practice of forcing you to rent a modem that purposely degrades reception so they can have a secondary broadcast open to the public on your network... Those are ALWAYS fun..

I read somewhere that the reason they are hexagon is twofold. First, your right, efficiency. But a square or a triangle could be just as efficient. So second, the hexagon avoids pointy bits that would aggravate the skin of most people.

Isn’t that focus stacking ? It’s indeed a bit similar, reintegrating information from multiple image of the same source. Beautiful photo nonetheless. Makes me wanna travel in the nanoscopic space.

That’s capillary action, based on surface tension in a confined space.

Argh... stupid OS changed “phytoplankton” to “photo plankton” and then Kinja won’t let me edit.

Yep... sorry to have missed it! Have you ever taken photos of photo plankton? That’s something I’ve always wanted to do.

Shhhh don’t let science get in the way of their dreams.

It’s the simplest circle like shape to cut without scrap. The corner angle is duller than a square or triangle which are two other shapes that could be cut to utilize the entire sheet of raw material. Being circular in relative shape would allow it to be blown through tubes in packaging without stacking / jamming in…

Not the idiot part though. Fingers too fast for my brain this morning.

True. Any other shapes cut result in the ‘waste product’ they call ‘funky’ designs lol

I wonder about the folks who work at the glitter factory. Are they constantly covered with glitter? Are there special glitter traps in the showers? I imagine that they have spots where the skin has grown over and engulfed glitter bits, like a tree around a chain link fence.

Nice photo. What’s the magnification?

I’m not sure. Their sizes range from .008 to .125 of different shapes. Maybe I just need more coffee.

Unless trees are degassing the water, I suspect the two are unrelated.
