  2. Space-filling tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-filling_tree

    Space-filling trees are geometric constructions that are analogous to space-filling curves, [1] but have a branching, tree-like structure and are rooted. A space-filling tree is defined by an incremental process that results in a tree for which every point in the space has a finite-length path that converges to it.

  3. Time-lapse photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-lapse_photography

    Some of the most stunning time-lapse images are created by moving the camera during the shot. A time-lapse camera can be mounted to a moving car for example to create a notion of extreme speed. However, to achieve the effect of a simple tracking shot, it is necessary to use motion control to move the camera.

  4. Astrobotany - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrobotany

    Tikhov's research into astrobotany would later develop into research into growing plants in space, or demonstrating the possibility of plants to grow in extraterrestrial conditions (especially comparing the climate of Mars and Siberia), but he was the first known astronomer to use color to attempt to measure the level of vegetation on an ...

  5. Hyperlapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlapse

    Hyperlapse or moving time-lapse (also stop-motion time-lapse, walklapse, spacelapse) is a technique in time-lapse photography for creating motion shots. In its simplest form, a hyperlapse is achieved by moving the camera a short distance between each shot. The first film using the hyperlapse technique dates to 1995.

  6. Patterns in nature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature

    Fir waves occur in forests on mountain slopes after wind disturbance, during regeneration. When trees fall, the trees that they had sheltered become exposed and are in turn more likely to be damaged, so gaps tend to expand downwind. Meanwhile, on the windward side, young trees grow, protected by the wind shadow of the remaining tall trees. [89]

  7. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    where Δt is the time interval between two co-local events (i.e. happening at the same place) for an observer in some inertial frame (e.g. ticks on their clock), known as the proper time, Δt′ is the time interval between those same events, as measured by another observer, inertially moving with velocity v with respect to the former observer ...

  8. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    In the spacetime diagram on the right, drawn for the reference frame of the Earth-based twin, that twin's world line coincides with the vertical axis (his position is constant in space, moving only in time). On the first leg of the trip, the second twin moves to the right (black sloped line); and on the second leg, back to the left.

  9. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity.Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations.
