Random Analogies

What: "Detroit is like a city from a parallel universe that was hit by an Armageddon, with a colossal train station and garish mansions sitting in various stages of decay with no one there to keep people from trespassing. Artists and photographers flock to the city because they can basically do anything they want in a huge metropolis that is basically abandoned."

What:

"It's more like two-dimensional. Real numbers are like the x-axis on the complex plane, and imaginary numbers are like the y-axis. Another way to look at it is, each real number can be described as itself times the multiplicative unit, i.e. 5 is 5*sqrt(1), 24 is 24*sqrt(1), 1 is sqrt(1)2. That's their 'x unit'. Each imaginary number can be described as a number times the imaginary unit, sqrt(-1), or i. We'd say that the number 5i is imaginary and is equal to 5 times the imaginary unit. In geometric terms, it's 5 y-units on the complex plane. When you mix together imaginary and real numbers, you get a complex number, describing both its coordinates on the complex plane, except instead of (5, 10) for 5x and 10y, we have (5 + 10i) for 5*sqrt(1) and 10*sqrt(-1). I hope this is making some kind of sense. "

What: "Red Flowers is a Uyghur dance piece. Uyghurs, from the Turkic ethnic group,live predominately in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region located in Northwest China.

This dance expresses the idea that a woman is like a red flower, full of energy and youth, making her so irresistible. "
