		See the full size + explanation at Absolute Motion Institute website
		In 2002, IFF director Margaret Wertheim guest curated an exhibition at the Santa Monica Museum of Art based on the life and work of outsider physicist James Carter. A former abalone diver and gold miner, Carter has articulated an entire alternative theory of physics from the subatomic to the intergalactic. This radically other vision of reality is based around Carter’s concept of the “circlon,” a ring shaped particle he believes is the fundamental form from which everything in the universe is constructed.
