Gömböc: math theorem, engineering marvel & art inspiration

The Gömböc has been included in the mathematical collections of Princeton, Cornell, Berkeley and Harvard.

In 2007, the Gömböc made its debut on the cover of Mathematical Intelligencer, and it was hailed by the New York Times as one of the 70 most interesting inventions of the year. In the coming decade this mathematical discovery has not only inspired top scientists, engineers and artists but also helped to shed light on some of Nature's intriguing mysteries.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/ritzpix-adds-portable-banner-offerings.html

What is the Gömböc?
The Gömböc, this special geometric shape, is a result of an ingenious mathematical question asked by one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century, Vladimir Igorevich Arnold: can convex, homogeneous objects with just two balance points exist? The Gömböc is the first known such shape and it self-rights on a horizontal surface like a weeble, however, unlike the toy, it has no added bottom weight.

Prestigious universities (e.g. Princeton, Cambridge, Heidelberg, Cornell, Oxford, Berkeley, Tokyo, Sorbonne and Harvard) and collections (e.g. Windsor Castle, the Hungarian National Museum) have put uniquely numbered Gömböc models on permanent exhibit. The Gömböc motivated the development of a geometrical theory with applications ranging from biology through palaeontology to geophysics and planetology, the latter not only helping NASA to identify ancient rivers on the Red Planet but also explaining the spaceship-like shape of the first interstellar asteroid 'Oumuamua. The Gömböc shape drove cutting-edge innovation in robotics and drug delivery and it inspired not only the development of the simulation software for the sailing yacht winning 2017 America's Cup but also the work of leading contemporary conceptual artist Ryan Gander.

"The Gömböc appears to be on the edge of physical reality. It exists, but barely so," describes co-inventor Gábor Domokos the extreme sensitivity of the shape for which the manufacturing tolerances are daunting, requiring a precision of 1/100mm for a Gömböc with maximal diameter of 100mm. In addition to its scientific significance, the Gömböc has become a popular and prestigious gift for businesses and individuals. Gömböc models are available in aluminum, transparent and black plexiglass, stainless steel, and bronze at gomboc-shop.com. For the upcoming holidays this special ornament, which is on the border of science and art, can be a precious gift.

CARD partners with Lillstreet Art Center to host a sensory friendly workshop

WHAT:

"We have been working on this partnership with Lillstreet Art Center, so we can bring a safe and accessible space to the autism community in Chicago that individuals with ASD and their families can enjoy," said Erin McNulty, operations manager at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders in Ravenswood.

The workshop is $35 to attend, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. All proceeds from the workshop will benefit Autism Care Today (ACT), a national nonprofit organization founded by CARD Executive Director Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh dedicated to raising awareness and providing services and supports to help children with autism achieve their full potential.

WHERE:
Lillstreet Art Center
4401 N. Ravenswood Ave.
Chicago, IL 60640

WHY:
Autism is a developmental disorder marked by impaired social interaction, limited communication, behavioral challenges, and a limited range of activities and interests. It is estimated that 1 in 40 individuals in the United States are affected by autism. Autism is more common than juvenile diabetes, pediatric AIDS, and pediatric cancer combined. Intensive behavioral intervention has been proven to be effective, yet many individuals go without treatment due to financial constraints. Autism Care Today fills this gap by providing assistance for these children today to ensure they have a better tomorrow.
