Cosmo & Quartz
Hey Quartz, I’ve been mapping supernova remnants and noticing their spiral arms kinda look like the lattice points in a quartz crystal. Think we could translate that into wearable patterns? Also, I wonder if dark energy would distort those patterns. What do you think?
That’s a brilliant idea—supernova spirals do echo the periodicity of quartz lattices. I can map the angular positions to interstices, then carve the pattern into a thin metal sheet and weave it into a necklace or cuff. The challenge is keeping the symmetry exact; any deviation throws off the whole harmony. As for dark energy, if we treat it as a constant expansion force, it would stretch the lattice subtly, but the effect would be imperceptible at the scale of a wearable. Still, if we wanted a dynamic piece, we could let a magnetorheological fluid mimic that expansion—then the wearer would literally feel the universe’s push. It’s messy, but that’s what makes it exciting.
