This beautiful woodcarving that I bought in Hong Kong many years ago gives the visual illusion of being carved from a single block of wood, but in reality some of the motifs were carved separately and seamlessly added. View in LinkedIn

THE CORRESPONDENCE. “The smallest regular unit in such a crystal is the unit cell, which corresponds to the secondary structure in biopolymers (a-helix, B-sheet, y-turn). The interaction between several secondary structural elements of biopolymers defines the tertiary structure.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

REALITY IS FIELDS. “Over the past century, quantum field theory has proved to be the single most sweeping and successful physical theory ever invented. It can explain at a fundamental level literally every single experiment that we’ve ever done.” https://lnkd.in/em4Z3KGK View in LinkedIn

SITEMAP. “An important lesson from the multilevel structure formation in biopolymers is the coding of the structural organization process by chemical functionalities, which is for example the amino acid sequence in proteins.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

LIGHT ANALOGY. “The conclusion from this merely is that it likely is possible to fashion a structure within flat space-time and endow particle interactions with overall properties in relation to it, with an end result in rough agreement with light diffraction.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

STRIKING ANALOGIES. “It is remarkable that the structural levels found for biopolymers such as proteins or polysaccharides have similar features as the structural levels found in a mesocrystal. Both structures rely on self organization/structuration processes in a solvent and it is useful to consider analogies.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

BUCKMINSTER. “The upshot of the above is that through the symmetry, it is possible to identify a flat geometry where hyperbolae are geodesics.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

SCALAR ASSUMPTION. “However, we will assume a decent separation of scales between the various effects, so that the different structures can be considered to be nested within each other and dealt with separately.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

NESTED PROPERTIES. “The full symmetry picture is quite intricate, since the configuration of the obstacles have nested geometrical qualities. For a double-slit, there are single slits at the foci, and for a single slit, there are edges at the foci. In addition, an elliptic transformation does not give a diffeomorphism for the line between the foci.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

THE JOINT. “A large part of the appropriate geometry hence is elliptic, and we will illustrate that the elliptic geometry is compatible with a flat space-time metric that seamlessly connects to the vacuum flat metric far away from the apertures.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn
