       | In another xtter, he posted a link to a blog that explains how he
       | finds the equations. It's a general discussion with example, not
       | a specific discussion of the corals.

       | If you think that's cool you'll like this guy's equations too.

       | That's the basis of ancient greek mathematics which used the
       | world as the model of its mathematics. So if twitter was around
       | in the ancient greek world: 'OP derived these mathematical
       | equations from these corals'.
