- This blog is to present a Sci-fi Aether concept of how knots (Torus, Trefoil and fig. 8) can self emerge in a dynamic foam and interact. I have come to realise that some posts on my blog are too far out and completely wrong; but I guess there are still some fun ideas that might work. Who knows!? Anyway, I'm trying to get a good simulation going, so it all becomes more clear. Here is a clip of the fig. 8-knot propelling upwards: movie (40Mb)
