    I want to make an art installation where a trajectoid rolls down a squiggly and very narrow board (as opposed to a broad surface as shown in the video), so it’s evident that its quirky shape is particularly appropriate to that exact board.

    I’m not sure what - if any - practical application it has, but it’s extremely impressive nevertheless.

      It might have none, or it might turn out to have some unexpected application way down the line.

      The fun part about basic mathematics research is that sometimes it suddenly just perfectly solves some other problem hundreds of years later.

      Like that time in the 1800s a guy figured out a solution to a 350 year old problem, and then in the 90s we realized that it was a description of particle physics and all the math had just been sitting there waiting.

    Algorithm, that’s a buzz word I want to hear more than just “AI”. Algorithms are peak efficiency.
