oh shit that me
The gravitational orbit of any moon, planet, star or galaxy forms a helix, when you view it traveling through a time dimension. A 3-dimensional helix is a ‘slice’ of the 4-dimensional shape of the orbit of a planet; X is a time dimension, Y and Z are space dimensions. One 2D slice of a 3D helix is a circle, another is a wave. One 3D slice of a 4D helix is a sphere; a planet in a specific moment of time.
Interesting patterns are revealed when you start thinking about the 4-dimensional shapes of objects through time. One example I enjoy is the fractal nature of gravitational orbits. Consider the 4D shape of the orbit of the Moon around the Earth through time; a helix. The helix of the Moons orbit is ‘wrapped’ around the helical orbit of the Earth around the Sun. The helices of the Earth and Moon are further ‘wrapped’ around the orbit of the Sun around the center of our Galaxy. When Galaxies orbit each other another iteration is possible. Because gravity causes the same behavior at different physical scales, a fractal pattern is generated. Viewed from the ‘side’, with one space and one time dimension, orbits are fractal waves. Viewed from the ‘top’ (two space dimensions) they are fractal circles. A 3D slice in spacetime (XYZ) shows a helical fractal. The true 4D object is a fractal hyperhelix.
Another beautiful fractal in time is biology. Every time a cell divides it creates a bifurcation or a ‘branch’. The same thing happens whenever an organism reproduces, or at each speciation event. All life is part of the same 4-dimensional fractal tree, extending back in time to the moment of abiogenesis. When you consider your 4-dimensional shape it becomes clear that we are all part of the same fractal organism, wrapped on the spherical surface of a hyperhelix!
I have a difficult time explaining this concept, if you don’t understand it’s because I’m not doing a good enough job explaining. I can see it perfectly in my mind, and I wish I could create visuals to show exactly what I mean. If there are any visual artists (paper or CG) who understand and would like to help spread this concept, please contact me. The same goes for any mathematicians who can clarify this!

All these shows but one (as of today, Oct. 13th 2018) are available on Netflix. These are just some of the shows I really enjoy binge watching during the spooky season, which for me is September 1st through November 30th lol.
Good Witch : A family friendly show about a small town and the magic that surrounds it. There’s also a ton of movies too but these aren’t currently available on Netflix. The show (and movies) is very wholesome and cute.
Goosebumps : Yes, Netflix currently as all the Goosebumps episodes and if you’re a “90′s kid” or just want to live out your 90′s wannabe fantasy then this show is a must in October. If you really want to get an authentic 90′s experiences watch it on a Saturday morning while eating French Toast Crunch. Totally family friendly-ish lol.
Are You Afraid of the Dark? : This one isn’t on Netflix but there are some episodes posted on Youtube. This show is much like Goosebumps (but much better in my opinion lol). FYI no matter how old you are the opening is always gonna be hella creepy lol.
Scream : Murder mystery + teenage angst. What more could you want from a TV show? This show is much more gory and isn’t suitable for kids.
Charmed : Witches again? Yes! Charmed is just a great show to watch anytime but it’s supernatural elements and nostalgic… charm ;) make it one of my favorite spooky season shows.
Supernatural : Again, the theme of supernatural creatures just fit so well with the season. Great “Halloween-ish” episodes include “Monster Movie” and “It’s the great pumpkin, Sam Winchester” Earlier season’s had a more “monster of the week” approach and are some of the best episodes. My personal favorite episode is Season 1 episode 11 “Scarecrow”
Creeped Out : This is a new Netflix anthology series, much like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark? It’s rated TV-Y7 so probably not a suitable show for super young kids.
American Horror Story : Particularly season 1, 3 and 6. This show is an adult horror style show and therefore I do not recommend watching this if you’re sensitive to imaginary of sexual assault, racial violence or graphic gore.
Some other shows that I also think are great binge-able spooky season shows but that I don’t have much to say about.
The Originals
The Vampire Diaries
iZombie
Being Human
Bitten
Van Helsing
The Walking Dead
The Twilight Zone
The Worst Witch (kid friendly)
The Magicians
And some good Spooky Season movies. All on Netflix right now. There are tons of horror movies on Netflix right now that aren’t on this lists because then it would be very very long lol. These are just the movies I have watched already and would recommend. I’m not saying they’re all masterpieces or anything lol, but they’re fun to watch this time of year.
