hexeosis 10 years
🎉 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION! 🎉 To celebrate a decade of hexeosis, i'm thrilled to announce i am making "hx-01," my 36-minute-long video from 2016, available for FREE on YouTube! 🎥✨ #hexeosis#hexeosis10years https://t.co/WiscN0mwoG
Okay I've seen enough. Policies and norms on Twitter have now moved beyond anything I'm willing to participate in. I'm done here until and unless there are mgmt changes or major policy clarifications and reversals. If interested, follow me via the top link of my pinned post. ⬣
An innovative prototype uses hexagonal mycelium tiles covering building facades as an innovative solution to air pollution 🏡 Brunel Design (@bruneluni) student has come up with this solution 👇 https://t.co/XZuS46mQGT
Hexfriends — With Twitter facing imminent collapse, and becoming at any rate materially harder to use by the day, I'm shifting my hexagonal focus to the fediverse. Plz follow me there if you're into that sort of thing:

Happy with this, and have pushed it live to https://t.co/GfD4nzKj0i
Diagram shows both hexagon orientations, size, width, height. On hover, focus on specific parts of the diagram.
A Friday #hexagonfact: Popularized as Bucky Fuller's "jitterbug" transformation, the cuboctahedron transforms smoothly into an icosahedron and octahedron by squeezing pairs of opposing vertices at each square face, keeping triangular faces constant:

Mathematics.
Shiver in ecstasy. This hexagonal pattern was created by Korean mathematician Choi Seok-jeong (1646-1715). N vertices are assigned integers (from 1 to N) in such a way that the sum of all integers at the vertices of each hexagon is the same. https://t.co/CHkCBDmZYC
IT CALLED STRUCTURED WATER AND ITS HEXAGONAL AND ISNT H2O ITS H3O2 AND IT FLOWS NATURALLY IN PRISTINE RIVERS BUT YOUR CELLS NEED TO EXPEND ENERGY TO CONVERT NORMAL WATER INTO THE HEXAGONAL WATER SO IT CAN ENTER YOUR BODY
Bright stars create unique patterns called diffraction spikes, which are produced as light bends around the sharp edges of a telescope. Most reflecting telescopes—including #NASAWebb—show spikes as light interacts with the primary mirror and struts that support the mirror. (1/5)
Ever since the Japanese physicist Ukichiro Nakaya produced his seminal catalog of snowflake shapes 77 years ago, researchers have sought to understand the interplay of factors that lead to different shapes. Finally, answers are emerging. https://t.co/thivxWujVV
Tl;dr there are two hexagonal "churches" loosely speaking in Portugal — maybe, indeed, in the entirety of the Iberian peninsula, idk — and they are both named after a Lord of the Stone. BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT LORDS OF THE STONE. And nobody seems to find this weird. The end. 6/6
A #hexagonfact for ur new year — There are two (and as far as I know only two) hexagonal ecclesiastical buildings of significance in Portugal, the Capela do Senhor da Pedra in Miramar, and the Santuário do Senhor Jesus da Pedra in Óbidos. I visited both in November. 1/
The person I talked to at the church in Óbidos was aware of the shrine in Mirimar, but had no explanation whatsoever for the similarity in name. And as far as I can tell (and Portuguese ppl plz correct me if I'm wrong) there aren't a lot of other senhores da pedra either. 5/
