Ambigrams

Found this off some website..its interesting though..have a look..its pretty interesting..hehz..kept me entertained for a pretty long span of time

WHAT IS AN AMBIGRAM?

An ambigram (a.k.a inversions) is a word written in such a way that it is legible both rightside-up and upside-down. They are designs in which you can see different words, or the same word in different ways, depending on how you look at them.


Ambigrams are an ancient artform and play heavily into the mysteries of Angels & Demons.

e.g. 1) Angels & Demons




A pity it doesn't rotate so I can't exactly explain..however..these two words in the picture are writen in a way in that even if you were to flip it..it'll still give you the words "Angels & Demons".

Excerpts from Wordplay

Time


“The present is no more than the meeting point between the past and the future— no more a distinct entity than the line where yin meets yang. Both the past and the future are infinitely long and receding lines. The present is that indefinable point where they meet...

The two sides of a knife are irrelevant to the function of the knife. The edge where they meet is where the knife's essence, its raison d'etre, exists. The finer, the less measurable that edge is (the less it even exists at all?), the sharper the blade, and the more effective the knife.”

Wavelength

“When energy is transferred through physical matter, a disturbance is created, and the material responds (in an equal and opposite manner) to restore its state of equilibrium. The pattern created by the stimulus and the response is wave motion. This motion takes place without any corresponding progressive movement.

Gravity

“In conclusion, I'll be brief. The absence or opposite of gravity is weightlessness. Therefore, gravity is the soul of wt.”
