It was a close up of 2 pairs of hands acting &amp; counteracting over and over. I checked out a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytaichi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yang style Tai Chi school<\/a> after work. Real chi in action is subtle, but interesting to watch. The Sifu told me he&#8217;s schooling himself on some physics. The energy definitely flows through him. After 25 years of practice, he&#8217;s still trying to understand what it is.<\/p>\n<p>The other moving image was of a particular wood puzzle created by a retired physicist. The puzzle is the Platonic solids &#8211; the tetrahedron, the cube, the octahedron, the dodecahedron and the icosahedron nested inside of each other.<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2005\/05\/10\/science\/10puzz.html?8hpib\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i6.photobucket.com\/albums\/y219\/teknevision\/puzzle.jpg\" \/><\/a> Apparently it&#8217;s considered a phenomenal achievement &#8211; to get them to fit perfectly inside one another.
