There does seem to be much skepticism towards cellular automata
(Wolfram's outrageous claims have played no small part in this), but
they certainly have some real-world applications, and are also an
interesting theoretical model for computation and computational
complexity.
Plus they provide many cool pictures and screen savers to zone out on.
What more could you ask for ?
Crazy idea: the Sage screen saver
up-to-date visualizations of research from around the world people are
doing in Sage. Anyone can submit visualizations of their current
research and a short blurb and contact information. The screen saver
downloads a bunch of these (or maybe the database of these things is
distributed with Sage and updated every release), and displays the
visualization (animated or not), blurb, and contact info for the person.
Sage Screen Saver: The new way to find cool exciting research!
Thanks,
