A team of scientists traveled to the Spanish island of Mallorca, where they visited a coastal cave that has been submerged off and on by the Mediterranean Sea for hundreds of thousand of years, as glacial periods have waxed and waned. They dated the layers of the mineral calcite, which were deposited by the seawater in rings on the cave walls, as on a bathtub...

The recurrent shapes in these are two black forms -- the circle and a bow tie, or diabolo -- which overlap and dance in deep space in swarms, with...
