  2. Penrose diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_diagram

    Penrose diagram of an infinite Minkowski universe, horizontal axis u, vertical axis v. In theoretical physics, a Penrose diagram (named after mathematical physicist Roger Penrose) is a two-dimensional diagram capturing the causal relations between different points in spacetime through a conformal treatment of infinity.

  3. Infinity symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity_symbol

    The infinity symbol (∞) is a mathematical symbol representing the concept of infinity. This symbol is also called a lemniscate, [ 1 ] after the lemniscate curves of a similar shape studied in algebraic geometry , [ 2 ] or "lazy eight", in the terminology of livestock branding .

  4. Light cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone

    If one imagines the light confined to a two-dimensional plane, the light from the flash spreads out in a circle after the event E occurs, and if we graph the growing circle with the vertical axis of the graph representing time, the result is a cone, known as the future light cone. The past light cone behaves like the future light cone in ...

    The fictional timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise and shared universe is the continuity of events for several feature films, television series, television specials, short films, and the I Am Groot shorts, which are produced by Marvel Studios, as well as a group of Netflix series produced by Marvel Television.

  6. Backcasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backcasting

    The major distinguishing characteristic of backcasting analyses is the concern, not with likely energy futures, but with how desirable futures can be attained. It is thus explicitly normative , involving "working backwards" from a particular future end-point to the present to determine what policy measures would be required to reach that future.

  7. Ulam spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral

    For comparison, a spiral with random odd numbers colored black (at the same density of primes in a 200x200 spiral). The Ulam spiral or prime spiral is a graphical depiction of the set of prime numbers , devised by mathematician Stanisław Ulam in 1963 and popularized in Martin Gardner 's Mathematical Games column in Scientific American a short ...

  8. Monochrome photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochrome_photography

    Although digital images captured in color can be modified with a digital black and white process, some specialized cameras photograph natively in black and white with no option for color. [10] Black and white digital cameras are often designed without a Bayer filter, avoiding the demosaicing process and meaning that a camera will only capture ...

  9. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    A photo demonstrating a vanishing point at the end of the railroad. A vanishing point is a point on the image plane of a perspective rendering where the two-dimensional perspective projections of mutually parallel lines in three-dimensional space appear to converge.
