Nikola Tesla
I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Cool! What are these compounds though?
Kept wiping my screen for dirt
My favorite type of reaction! It is super interesting to model these because they oscillate around an equilibrium instead of getting to equilibrium. The [Oregonator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregonator) model is the simplest model of oscillating reactions like this, and requires a minimum of 5 reactions.
I see this when I close my eyes sometimes. I’ve spent many a night trying to fall asleep to this visual.
Looks like something a music player would have as an visualization option.
This is my favorite. I learned of it from BBC’s The Secret Life of Chaos.
This is /r/DMT or /r/LSD or /r/currentlytripping material!

This is oddly hypnotizing. Also looks like a time lapse of bacteria/mold growing a petri dish 🤔
Is this realtime?
Psilocybin cubensis spores.
For those wonering, the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction is the reaction of acid with the human brain.
Trippy [6]

I always upvote this
I did research in undergrad on chaotic reacting flows and used the BZ reaction daily. It was really fun to play with but also got a bit hard to deal with. It liked to spuriously start reacting. There was another formulation that could be controlled with light but was much more expensive to make.
This is what happens to my vision on LSD
Holy shit it looks like mescaline visuals! LSD or shrooms are similar. First hallucinogen I ever took, stared at a wall for about an hour watching this exact type visual thing in the pattern of the stucco lol. The next 6 hours were just as entertaining.
What i see when i close my eyes
Do not let me watch this on mushrooms. I will *never* be able to figure out when it ends.
I thought this was a Petri dish when I scrolled by and I was disturbed.

Is that a new kool aid flavor?
As a clinical lab guy, I thought this was swarming Proteus in a petri dish before the animation started.
Psychedelic
This looks like [Rhodochrosite slices](https://www.mineralauctions.com/public/multimedia/images/auctions/items/thumbs/8995_465xV.jpg)
Looks like a swarming Proteus Mirabilis microbiology culture on a time-lapse.
Just like a fractal shape.
Reminds me of when something is shot at a forcefield in movies
Thought this was r/unstirredpaint
I… I want to taste it
A.K.A. Cool Screensaver Reaction!
