Collection of Evil Things - Part I

Here, I present some things that make me shudder. One is truly hair-tearing-out frustrating, another carries only a murky haze of vague malevolence, and the last makes my head explode.

#1: The door to the room of darkness and despair - aka the room in which I did my Fourier Transform Spectroscopy experiment in my Physics Lab Course.



Here I spent probably ~12 hours of my life turning a little crank, and squinting in hopes of seeing interference fringes in a Michelson Interferometer. It was kinda like an old movie theatre... sitting in the dark on that wooden stool, turning a handle and looking at coloured light. Except the movie was tres dull.

#2: This is a picture that I saved onto my computer from some random website years ago. I kept it cuz it is just so odd. And slightly frightening.


Just try and tell me that doesn't scare you a little. (Yes it was from one of those physics websites attempting to explain quarks and their flavours.)

#3: Last, but not least... an object demonstrating the Th point group. That's right, Th, not Td. Disgusting, isn't it. Reminds me of clowns. And not the sane ones, either.



Look closely... Even try applying some symmetry operators if you dare. I didn't want to put up a larger version - you need your heads, but your eyes can melt a little.
