So beautiful to watch. The way they slowly fade in and out of view as they disperse is really a sight to behold. But if this is beautiful to behold, and a mathematician uses a formula to fully describe their movements with exact precision, wouldn't he be no different than a painter or an artist who each use their own tools to describe the movements? A mathematician who uses formulas to describe reality, then, is an artist as well. I dunno. I just thought of that when I saw this video. If people can say Shakespeare was a scientist and Austen a game theorist, then I can say mathematicians are artists. The movements are captivating. But I wonder if they ever bump into each other? Guess I've got something to look up.
