>John V. Muntean was inspired to create the Magic Angle Sculptures through his work with magic angle sample spinning, a scientific technique that mechanically simulates a molecule tumbling through space. The effect is to rapidly interchange the three axes of the Cartesian coordinates (x, y, and z). A complex observable phenomenon in three-dimensional space (such as the nuclear magnetic moments of a static molecule) can be represented by 3 x 3 tensors or sets of nine numbers; spinning at the magic angle simplifies that quantity to single isotropic values. What?? This babble does not make any sense, and these sculptures have nothing to do with magic angle spinning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_angle_spinning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_angle_spinning) whatsoever.
