interesting quote:

" "It's possible to argue that films such as The Matrix, Terminator II and T3 are structured like video games, each with plots that feature levels of increasing difficulty," says the study. "

-- A study by the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association


if i have the album "turn blue" by The Black Keys on my Android phone in the play store in a list of potential albums to buy, the icon/album picture is a spiral. If i then scroll up and down, one of those magnetic lines of force of a bar magnet-like pictures appears. Are the typical magnetic lines of force of a bar magnet a Moire pattern of two superimposed pictures of a spiral displaced slightly vertically? If so, does this mean anything for the physics of electromagnetism? Also, i recall that magnetism was shown to be a relativistic consequence of moving electrons; is that related?
