💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌠🔭 During the annual #Perseid #meteorshower, streaks of #light flash across the dark night #sky.

Astronomers explain that these #shootingstars occur when #Earth moves through the icy debris left by #comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Clear skies and a moonless night will make the glowing fireballs visible between midnight and dawn.

🧵 Post 1 / 3 — The Observation
🌀 A spirograph and quantum mechanics
While playing with a spirograph, we noticed something unexpectedly useful.
Simple mechanical constraints — rotation, phase relationships, and boundaries — generate nodal structures and dense/sparse regions that look strikingly like quantum probability distributions.
This doesn’t replace quantum mechanics, and it doesn’t claim electrons trace literal paths.
But it does raise an important question: if probability distributions emerge from constraints and interference, shouldn’t we be explicit about what those constraints are?
