These are awesome but not being a scientist myself I didn’t recognize all of them… anyone want to fill in some captions?

Yeah… seriously… what’s the point of the pictures without captions???

i think this is the Hubble telescope? but i could be wrong wrong wrong.

i was talking about picture no. 3 btw. a jelly is not a telescope — i know that much.

Ask and ye shall receive: 1. Jellyfish from Dave Wolfenden, a lecturer in animal science at Reaseheath College, UK. 2. The golden ratio (1), Dave Stroup. 3. Voyager spacecraft, Heather Wilkinson. 4. Detail from the plaque on Voyager containing digitally encoded info and other symbols about human existence, Noah Radford. 5. The neural net (1), showing how the mind resides in a network, not a single neuron, biologist Gabriel Pato. 6. Darwin’s drawings of finches, the differently shaped beaks of which inspired his theory of evolution, Rachel Crews. 7. Continuity equation, a formula for describing the nature of a fluid, post-doc researcher Drew Lucas. 8. Everything, detail showing tree of life, DNA, golden ratio (2), an indication of a photochemical reaction (hv), grad student MRL. 9. Matching Halley’s comets, based on the Bayeux tapestry, Kate Devitt and partner. 10. Ammonite, stylized, Andrew Claxton. 11. David Wilson’s formula distilling the power necessary to propel a bike against gravity, weight, friction, wind resistance, Andy Gates. 12. The neural net (2), symbol, Martin Roth. 13. Drawings accompanying Edison’s patent for the first sound recording device, Tyler Rollins. 14. Golden ratio (3), Siobhan Braybrook. 15. Golden ratio (5), with first 80 digits of the key number (1/2(1+√5) in the ratio, Brandon Davis.

Thanks Nat. I think you did a better job than I did!

I just spent an inexplicable amount of time researching and understanding the golden ratio.

@el: and it’s fascinating, no?

Tattoo #8 has drawn DNA backwards. DNA is a right-handed helix, not left-handed. Most laypeople won’t see that, but if that dude ever showed that to a biologist, they’d laugh at him.
It’s the scientific equivalent of getting your wife’s name tattooed on, but spelling it wrong.

Golden ratio won

Check out my science inspired tattoo I got last night..

What make people to do a tatoo? just curious I don´t have one and when I see all these people with something that will go with them for life, i´m curious… thanks.

The DNA could be backwards, but isn’t there a Z-DNA that’s left handed?
