March 28, 2007: Hexagon on Saturn - Page 2

Give me a wrench long enough and a lugnut on which to place it, and I shall move the world.

Didn't anyone see 2010? That's a big STOP sign...someone doesn't want us exploring any further out.

No Steve, that skull IS a Jesus.

Muahahaha!!

Hold my beer.

SteveDallas · 03-28-2007, 07:54 PM

I wonder what the Velikovsky-ites are making of it.

My theory is that it is not a hexagon but instead a static sine wave of 6 wave lengths. We see it as a hexagon because it is mapped on a circle. I created this image using the polar coordinates filter in photoshop Name: polarSinus.png

Nice! I agree.

Clodfobble · 03-29-2007, 08:03 AM

Slight that is an awesome explanation, thanks!

Flint · 03-29-2007, 08:36 AM

But what about the skulls?

elSicomoro · 03-29-2007, 08:55 AM

Well, this was an interesting conversation, until Slight got all serious and fucked it up...

(Seriously...that's awesome...I never would have thought of that. Of course, I hated trig.)

SteveDallas · 03-29-2007, 09:06 AM

Wait, Photoshop has a polar coordinates filter? What's next? Path integrals?

I was thinking about this, and you know, it's not surprising... the bulk of the best things that Photoshop can do is just really hard math! All the filters are math in disguise.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-29-2007, 10:45 PM

Is that why it's so big? I have 4 and 5 and 5.5 and gave 'em up for elements, because I'm to dumb to use all the stuff in the full size versions. Hell, I've been using elements for a couple years and just discovered it has talk bubbles. Duh

A skull filter.
