These great hollow globes of artificial super-metals, and artificial transparent adamant, ranged in size from the earliest and smallest structures, which were no bigger than a very small asteroid, to spheres considerably larger than the Earth. (Olaf Stapledon, STAR MAKER)

Crab Canon
A nice little visualization of J.S. Bach's Crab Canon (from his Musical Offering). As the commentary tells it, part of the discussion in Douglas R. Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. Add a twist (Mobius strip...twist...get it...oh, never mind!) to the visualization for sheer joy.
