The only screensaver I've ever seen that's cool enough for me to actually want to post about it is Gravity Wells, by MBSS.

MBSS stands for "Mathematically Beautiful Screen Savers," and that's indeed what they are.  In the same way that I can enjoy sitting for a little while just watching an aquarium and the soothing, changing patterns of color created by lazily swimming tropical fish, I can enjoy watching the swirling, beautiful yet mathematically precise patterns created by clouds of particles being projected at a gravity well and how their paths are affected by it, i.e by the curvature of space around the gravity well.  Or something like that.

Aw, heck, I can't really describe it.  Just go see it for yourself.  (Free download; there's a tiny nag message in the screen until you register it for $15.  No affiliation with this blog, but if you're interested in a truly powerful hand-held laser, please check out our affiliate Wicked Lasers in the right sidebar.  Heh.)

We pursue and thinking only save each lived, complaint or regret is the true meaning of life. Life is life itself, a picture in the salad, but when we are reading, painting, and the view of the storm, many things juicy jewelry us, we identify and become the protagonist in the book, in the play.
