Epicycle Scribe Unisex T-Shirt: Heart
Giving it as a gift? Print its story card to tuck in with it.
Circles riding on circles, drawing a shape.
Fix a small circle to the rim of a larger one and turn both, following a point on the smallest. Ancient astronomers used these epicycles to predict the wandering of the planets in the night sky. Centuries later, Joseph Fourier showed why they work so well: almost any repeating shape can be built by adding together circular motions of different sizes and speeds.
Heart. A handful of turning circles, each at its own speed, draw a heart.
Who it’s for
The circles that once tracked the planets are now Fourier analysis, the idea behind audio equalizers, MRI scanners and the compression in MP3s and JPEGs. Made for electrical and audio engineers, physicists, astronomers and anyone who loves finding hidden patterns.
Made to be noticed: a bold print in a relaxed unisex cut, for conferences, concerts, weekends, and anywhere a good conversation might start.
