There are a number of collections that are like this—collections that aim to demonstrate science concepts in a way that is easily digestable. Each is unique in its own way, and I really encourage you to spend some time google-ing about and finding all the various lists, as many of them are terribly informative. Here, full disclosure, I tried to trace down the original source.This means that, if the first result that popped up was reddit, I did a reverse image source to trace down the oldest version that I could find. If the oldest source didn't explain what was being demonstrated, I c cited the source of the gif and found another source to clarify.
1) This is a a Reuleaux Triangle
(There are
curves of constant width besides circles and spheres. It's a convex planar shape whose width is the same regardless of the orientation of the curve)
2) And these Curves of Constant Width can drill square holes
3) This is why Pi is significant
(Animation shows the act of unrolling a circle's circumference [or trying to], illustrating
the ratio π)
4) How to make Pascal’s Triangle
5) This is a Miura Fold
6) This is a Parabola
(If you kick a soccer ball (or shoot an arrow, fire a missile or throw a stone) it will arc up into the air and come down again...following the path of a
parabola!)
7) This is a Radian
(The radian is the standard unit of angular measure, used in many areas of mathematics)
8) This is a Matrix Transposition
(
A matrix
which is formed by turning all the rows
of a given matrix into columns
and vice-versa. The transpose of matrix A is written AT )
9) This is a Sierpinski Triangle
(a kind of fractal, a mathematically generated pattern that can be reproducible at any magnification or reduction)
10) Here's how you convert Cartesian (rectangular) to Polar Coordinates
11) This is how Exterior Angles of Polygons work
(they add up to 360 degrees)
12) This is a Hyperboloid made up of straight lines
13) This is also a Hyperboloid of straight lines
14) This is how White Blood Cells keep you safe
(in the video, a white blood cell chases and engulfs this bacteria--watch until the end!)
15) This is Earth’s ice and vegetation cycle over a year
16) There is Flammable Matter in Smoke
(it's not just nothingness, obviously)
17) This is what it looks like when you set a Flammable Gas on fire in a glass jar
18) This is quantum levitation due to vortex pinning
19) This is how Tension works in relation to falling objects
(watch a slinky fall to the Earth; this is how slinkies always fall)
20) Not all Gasses have the same Density
(Sulphur hexaflouride is much denser than air)
21) BONUS! And remember, all those amazing astronomy images are much more than 2D images...
