Animated Math

This thing is mesmerizing.  (Link courtesy of my_partner_doug and janetmiles.  It illustrates the factors within numbers, and prime numbers.  I remember this thing from other lives -- it's a first contact demo.  Math is a universal concept, so most aliens would be able to figure out that the thing is counting and showing relationships of numbers, even if they might not get all the fancy bits.  Then you just add your language track, and you can teach a whole lot of concepts very quickly and easily.  I'm so happy to see this again.

That was fun, but I did have to halt it to even see the notation in the upper left (past an early point I couldn't see it was adding 1 without closer reading the dots)
