The Cosmic Spiderweb and General Origami Tessellation Design (1809.00015v1)
Published 31 Aug 2018 in astro-ph.CO and cs.CG
Abstract: The cosmic web (the arrangement of matter in the universe), spider's webs, and origami tessellations are linked by their geometry (specifically, of sectional-Voronoi tessellations). This motivates origami and textile artistic representations of the cosmic web. It also relates to the scientific insights origami can bring to the cosmic web; we show results of some cosmological computer simulations, with some origami-tessellation properties. We also adapt software developed for cosmic-web research to provide an interactive tool for general origami-tessellation design.
