I have not encountered timelessness from an engineering perspective before, it is quite intriguing. Lot’s of philosophy stuff on your blog… pretty neat.

Progress is, in my opinion, mostly just an illusion—no matter how many computer chips and cellphones and super-fast airplanes we invent and create, the main problems of humanity remain the same—and there’s never an end to the creations and the discoveries to be made.

The wider spokes around the rims are probably put in there for reasons of compression and torsional and shear strain: this is made of wood, after all.

It’s easier to accellerate if the weight is closer to the center. But perhaps the strain is greater near the rim?
