Russ Gries and His 3D Printed Quasicrystalline Spin Network (QSN)

The Quasicrystalline Spin Network (QSN) is the substructure of 3D spacetime in emergence theory, a quantum gravity theory being worked on by a group of Los Angeles physicists at a nonprofit called Quantum Gravity Research. Russ, one of the research scientists, who built a homemade 3D printer from scratch on the side, printed this highly complex model of the QSN.

Keep your eyes peeled for our new E8 documentary - coming soon!

Is there an 8-dimensional "engine" behind our universe? Join Marion Kerr on a fun, visually exciting journey as she explores a mysterious, highly complex structure known simply as 'E8'--a weird, 8-dimensional object that for some, strange reason, appears to encode within it all of the particles and forces of our 3-dimensional universe.

nice!!! This model will be released soon for others to try! check out more here:

:)

admin will need to link to the face book :) ~Russ

As you spin your toy the camera angle displays a perfect example of stroboscopic .

Ha I looked up spin networks after reading about quantum gravity in a book by Lee smolin

The frame rate makes a fun optical illusion of reverse spin. :)

Market this shit with nicer plastic. You will make moola. I would buy

Sell them on the website and fund the research...say $100 donation

Do you have a link to the .stl print file?

You used an FDM printer for that??? Looks Awesome :)
