30,000 hours of footage, equivalent to 3 years and 7 months, were filmed to capture the blooming of 77 types of flowers, and the result is spectacular.
The wave equation in spherical coords:
∇²Φ = (1/c²)∂²Φ/∂t²
drives these levitated droplets into pure l=3 & l=4 modes.
Watching a water drop morph into perfect triangular stars & quadrupolar symmetry at ultrasonic resonance is pure fluid poetry.
