I am relocating to the city side, and my new place is a bungalow. I want to decorate it with aesthetic and vintage paintings and frames which mean something or have historical importance. Recently I came across the Persian Sun product, and I would like to know what makes it so unique.

Might help if we knew what the Persian Sun product is - it means nothing to me.  I shall visit my friend Mr Google, to find out.  A minute later - Mr Google is of no help to me at all.  Persian Sun, Persian Sun Project, Persian Sun painting - none of these returns any results that have relevance to your question.  You will need to be a little specific.

The embedded link will probably follow in the next post, they often do! I thought the same, nonsense! but I didn’t remove it just in case I’d misunderstood the text… I certainly didn’t intend to spend any time responding or researching it!

Oh you cynics, you! No, I admit to having been sceptical from the outset; thought I'd give the 'new member' a chance, but feared this was just - well, what is it?  An attempt to test and expose us, should we attempt to take it seriously?  A trivial post as someone's "bit of fun"?  You have to wonder why anyone would think this worthwhile .... Maybe we'll learn better in a bit; my breath is not bated, though.   Come along Percy - reveal your fell design!

Seems to be a lot of ‘one post new members’ lately, particularly resurrecting old posts from months or years ago with short replies….  I find it very odd!

I’ve notice that Helen short comments and no follow up the majority have nothing in the gallery, odd well it seems so to me.

This post has been removed as it violates our forum rules and guidelines.

This is fascinating, and for a reason few of you might suspect. Here is the Persian Sun.  Now, here's an image of the projection onto a surface of a 4-cube, also known as a tesseract, which is the four-dimensional equivalent of a cube in three dimensions. The number of spots around the centre, 8, is the same as in the Persian Sun. This is fascinating to me, because I've done work myself suggesting that the universe has an extra spatial dimension. It's also accepted by mathematicians like Marcus du Sautoy and was implied by the work of physicist James Clerk Maxwell, who laid the groundwork for 20t Century physics. If we increase the dimensions the number of spots increases but the overall pattern resembles the Persian Sun even more. Here is the projection of a 6-cube (six spatial dimensions): Now here is the projection of an 8-cube (a cube in 8 spatial dimensions). I wonder if the original inspiration for the Persian Sun came from a dream or vision? It reminds me of the well-known Paisley Pattern, which is very like patterns found in mathematical objects known as fractals, the discovery of which post dated the Paisley Pattern.

Now this is expertise - far beyond most of us on here - certainly me. But fascinating and kind of Bill for elaborating on Paul’s thread.
