Dicen por ahí que Newton construyó este puente, que une dos partes del Queen's College, sin utilizar ni un solo clavo. Y que más tarde, unos estudiantes lo desmontaron para analizar su estructura e intentaron volver a construirlo, pero fueron incapaces y necesitaron tornillos para dejarlo como estaba.
The iconic bridge of Cambridge.
from Wikipedia :- "The bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design. Although it appears to be an arch, it is composed entirely of straight timbers built to an unusually sophisticated engineering design, hence the name."

This nearly mint copy (just a few scuffs and page yellowing because of the paper grade) has awesome illustrations made by the amazingly talented Lowell Hess. Text by Irving Adler.

Thought this looked like a macro shot of an ant's head!
The Mathematical Bridge (The Wooden Bridge)
I was once told that this bridge was built by Newton without Nuts and Bolts, but Newton died in 1727 a couple of decades before it was built. This is a well known myth.
In fact the bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design.

Warning: This gets complicated. Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician in the 12th century. We can thank him for the 1,2,3, etc. numbers that we use today. We can also thank him for the Fibonacci sequence, which is also intrinsically related to the golden mean -- i.e. the 3 to 5 ratio that was originally standard format for photographs. Anyway . . . he explained this sequence in terms of rabits multiplying in his field. He starts out with zero rabbits. The next month, he gets one pair of male and female rabits. In one month's time, he still has one pair (0 + 1). The following month they have two babies, resulting in two pairs of rabbits (1 + 1 = 2). In three months time, the babies of the original rabbits mature into childhood and a second pair is born (2 + 1 = 3). Then in the fourth month, the children of the first pair breed while the original pair have another two male and female babies (3 + 2 = 5). And then they grow up, etc., etc. -- resutling in the following sequence: (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, etc.).
Why is this sequence of interest? Because it is the same set of proportions used in the golden spiral, which is intricately related to the golden mean, which is the proportions originally used in photography and guides many of the rules of composition with use today. I won't bore you anymore with the details, but people who really love fun stuff about mathematics can find more info on Wikipedia here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

Walking back to Surfers along the beach front.
James Beattie, a farmer, became the first European to settle in the area when he staked out an 80-acre (32 ha) farm on the northern bank of the Nerang River, close to present-day Cavill Avenue. The farm proved unsuccessful and was sold in 1877 to German immigrant Johan Meyer, who turned the land into a sugar farm and mill. Meyer also had little luck growing in the sandy soil and within a decade had auctioned the farm and started a ferry service and built the Main Beach hotel. By 1889, Meyer's hotel had become a post receiving office and subdivisions surrounding it were named Elston, named by the Southport postmaster after his wife's home in Southport, Lancashire, England. The Main Beach Hotel licence lapsed after Meyer's death in 1901 and for 16 years Elston was a tourist town without a hotel or post office.
The boom of the 1950s and 1960s was centred on this area and the first of the tall apartment buildings were constructed in the decades that followed. Little remains of the early vegetation or natural features of the area and even the historical association of the beachfront development with the river is tenuous. The early subdivision pattern remains, although later reclamation of the islands in the Nerang River as housing estates, and the bridges to those islands, have created a contrast reflected in subdivision and building form. Some early remnants survived such as Budd's Beach — a low-scale open area on the river which even in the early history of the area was a centre for boating, fishing and swimming.
Some minor changes have occurred in extending the road along the beachfront since the early subdivision and The Esplanade road is now a focus of activity, with supporting shops and restaurants. The intensity of activity, centred on Cavill, Orchid and Elkhorn Avenues, is reflected in the density of development. Of all places on the Gold Coast the buildings in this area constitute a dominant and enduring image visible from as far south as Coolangatta and from the mountain resorts of the hinterland.

Greetings mate! As many of you know, I love marrying art, science, and math in my fine art portrait and landscape photography!
The 45surf and gold 45 revolver swimsuits, shirts, logos, designs, and lingerie are designed in accordance with the golden ratio! More about the design and my philosophy of "no retouching" on the beautiful goddesses in my new book:

The Golden Ratio informs a lot of my art and photographic composition. The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo! Not so long ago, I came up with the Golden Ratio Principle which describes why The Golden Ratio is so beautiful.
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.

I suddenly found myself in the midst of a herd moving fast around me. They jostled, pushed me & bleated me for being in their way. I took the customary shots & wondered aloud to the shepherd: " How do you keep a track of the numbers of your cattle?
The shepherd smiled & replied: "Simple... I count their feet & divide by four!"
I asked him his name & he replied with the humbleness of all the mathematicians in his name: "Srinivasa Ramanujan Shakuntal Dev Arya Bhatt!" :)
Dehaai/ Desai stories!
We have to live with the idea that we can rely on our intelligence and our senses (otherwise normal living wouldn't be possible). Our intelligence says that 2x3 is the same as 3x2. But if we see with our senses that 2x3 can be different from 3x2 (two different underlying structures) then we can get confused. Is there more than we can see or reason?
