The Official Tangled Cable Appreciation Page

by Cliff Pickover, Reality Carnival

For some reason, I just love photos of complex, colorful cabling. Do you? The cabling speaks to me. It tells me something about art, technology, and the wonderful mind of humankind. Images of cables remind us of the intricacy of our brains and the awesome promise of tomorrow. Cabling allows us to transcend space and time.

Can you do better than these photos?



If you are interested in crazy configurations like these, see in The Physics Book: From the Big Bang to Quantum Resurrection. The book features strange cosmology, technology, and more.
