"it resembles the stained-glass designs found in Gothic churches."

"It's a way for nature to keep an electric charge moving in an interrupted circuit."  Okay, I'll be the first to admit.  Huh............????  Someone want to interpret for me?  Physics is not a topic that I'm good on.  Seems a 17 year old student is getting accolades on his work.     Article with link follows.

Looking Through Rose-Colored Windows

An electric honeycomb has nothing to do with honey or bees, and isn't quite as metal as it sounds. But to say it's unimpressive would be a mistake. An electric honeycomb is what occurs when certain kinds of charged particles travel between a pointy electrode and a flat one, but bump into some oil along the way. The polygonal pattern that emerges is also known as the rose-window instability (explaining Niazi's study titled "The Electric Honeycomb; an investigation of the Rose window instability"), because it resembles the stained-glass designs found in Gothic churches. It's a way for nature to keep an electric charge moving in an interrupted circuit.

Niazi's research on the rose window instability looks at it in a new light to help make clearer why currents form polygonal patterns over oil. The study concludes that "the ions are the main cause of the instability and image the system in two new perspectives (thermal and schlieren) which reveal previously unknown phenomena associated with the RWI." Niazi hopes to further study the mathematics of the electric honeycomb, and one day, dreams of earning a Nobel Prize. You have a strong start already, Muhammad.

WOW, that’s Impressive!  I’m sharing this with my kids.   :1:

Maybe they can explain it to me.     I know that I have to consult with my boys for IT stuff.

I read that and it is pretty cool!..and speaking of Gothic churches, here is another amazing visual...the Duomo Cathedral in Milan, Italy, Feb. 2017. :1:

Thanks, Tom.. I passed it on to Ed the Rocket Scientist..
