Beyond Euclid #225

Hello from Beyond Euclid 225. There's a quiet pattern running through this week's pages. A £210 million house sitting empty, billions of bees walking out of the hive, a fifty-year math problem chasing one number that refuses to appear often. So much of it circles a kind of vanishing. And then, on the same pages, the opposite: Pascal leaving behind both a triangle and the world's first bus, a pine cone folding itself into numbers, a sleepless night becoming a clock face on paper. One side empties out, the other quietly multiplies. Both live in the same world.

Still free, still weekly, still written long after the kids are asleep. If these issues have become part of your week, the single most useful thing you can do is become a paid subscriber on Substack or chip in on Patreon — that's what actually keeps the lights on here. And if money's tight, forwarding this to one person who'd love it is worth more than you'd guess.
