Arkadyevitchizing America since 2006
By the time you panic, it is way too late -- Lee Raymond, New York Times, July 6, 2008
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies a theft from those who are hungry and not fed; from those who are cold and not clothed. This world-in-arms is not spending money alone; it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. Dwight D Eisenhower, 11/16/53

Wow, me too. Beautiful
Can you provide the link to the animation details (what is shown)?
It's 110 MB of water vapor; there's a narrative and subtitles that describe the images themselves. I don't have a text description, other than NOAA's Environmental Visualization Program is offering a high-resolution satellite animation of the 2008 Atlantic Hurricane Season. You may click the link below to download the file. If you encounter trouble, right-click the link and save file to your computer.
Very psychedelic. You guys would have loved the 60's. You call it geeking out...we called it tripping out :)
While we whippersnappers may object that geeking out and tripping out are different in substantive ways, we did have a geophysical fluid dynamics professor who was promoting a book full of cool images of fluids in motion.
I would agree that they are different but that video just took me back somehow:)
Oh, that book!
Mmmmm....bullets passing through a viscous medium...
But along the lines of the 60s I see it as an era when artists explored the visual implications of how light waves would appear if they had dispersive propagation in the same way as waves in fluids.
