Dave keeps asking me to put up or shut up but when I do put up (which is 100% of the time) Dave just ignores it because he doesn't understand basic algebra in either graphical or equation form. But he did recognize numbers in his astute observation that one example had a 12 ly trip and the other had a 5 ly trip so he emphatically stated the examples must be completely different. In actual fact he innately recognized there was some sort of difference in the examples but it was just in the two numbers representing different trip lengths. So he has some sort of feel for numbers and maybe if I talk in numbers it will trigger some sort of understanding within him.
Here is an abstract artwork I drew:
It's called, "Colored Lines with Numbers and Axes." Of course, Dave was already calling it that in his head (although he might not be familiar that axes is the plural of axis). There are 4 axes on this graphic art painting. I'm using MS Paint so it does qualify as a painting. Have I lost anyone so far? Good.
What's cool about this painting is that moving or swapping the time axes will cause the painting to radically alter. Actually Minkowski was the original artist and mine is just a print but just swapping the placement of the t-axis with the t'-axis gets you into the psychedelic world of Epstein. I experimented using Epstein once and although it changed the way I look at the universe, I don't want to go back because no one will ever be able to understand me.
Just moving the axes will get you into the world of Loedel art. Loedel, Minkowski and Epstein all look very different but all must actually bend to the masterworks of Loedel. If the graphical depictions of lines do not match Loedel, notes must appear on the other art forms to comply with Loedel. This notation has never been adhered to or even known (until now).
But enough about art history, let's look at the pretty colors. Oop, there's a bold blue line drawn masterfully almost straight across the page and it has numbers on either end of it joining the two t-axes. It's more like a gash or an assault with a straight razor, a Red Wedding but in blue if you will. What could this possibly mean to the artist and those who can appreciate and interpret his art?
Stay tuned, I don't want to overload you with too much information at once.
