#2, look a little closer, no landmasses are touched by hurricanes. This is partly obscured by the perspective and size of the graphic, but it's the case. Amazing that ocean-borne storms don't go onto continents very much, huh?
Maximillian Cohen: Restate my assumptions: One, Mathematics is the language of nature. Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature.
This would be a lot more impressive if I didn't understand the rather unorthodox map projection. It's no coincidence he he picked the south pole for the center, rather than the north, which would have put the proponderance of land mass toward the middle of the map...
Yeah, if you think about it, looking up from the south pole, it's not a humongous shocker that stuff that happens at particular latitudes is going to be arranged in a big ring.
