Thanks to Bill Hedges at Cosmic Films Studio in Nebraska, USA for having us to film our sci-fi adventure. Check out Bill’s Cosmic Cat series: / @williamhedges1519

Thanks to Laura Taalman for 3D printing the fantastic shapes for me. She’s a Professor of Mathematics at James Madison University. https://mathgrrl.com/

Thanks to Roger Antonsen, for testing the local maxima of the Grace shape for this video. Roger sadly passed away earlier this year. His department at the University of Oslo have published a memorial page to celebrate him: https://www.mn.uio.no/ifi/personer/mi…

Geogebra model of the Grace’s Shape made by Sam Hartburn.

Much appreciation to Donald’s children who talked to me about late nights spent with their father watching a computer crunch away at some math.
