Helicoid
The helicoid, after the plane and the catenoid, is the third minimal surface to be known.
Description
It was described by Euler in 1774 and by Jean Baptiste Meusnier in 1776. Its name derives from its similarity to the helix: for every point on the helicoid, there is a helix contained in the helicoid which passes through that point. Since it is considered that the planar range extends through negative and positive infinity, close observation shows the appearance of two parallel or mirror planes in the sense that if the slope of one plane is traced, the co-plane can be seen to be bypassed or skipped, though in actuality the co-plane is also traced from the opposite perspective.
The helicoid is also a ruled surface (and a right conoid), meaning that it is a trace of a line. Alternatively, for any point on the surface, there is a line on the surface passing through it. Indeed, Catalan proved in 1842 that the helicoid and the plane were the only ruled minimal surfaces.
The helicoid and the catenoid are parts of a family of helicoid-catenoid minimal surfaces.

Hello God
by: Dolly PartonHello God are you out there can you hear me are you listening any more
Hello God if we're still on speaking terms can you help me like before
I have questioned your existence my resistance leaves me cold
Can you help me go the distance hello God hello hello
This old world has gone to pieces can we fix it is there time
Hate and violence just increases we're so selfish cruel and blind
We fight and kill each other in your name defending you
Do you love some more than others we're so lost and confused
Hello God are you out there can you hear us are you listening any more
Hello God if we're still on speaking terms can you help us like before
Oh the free will you have given we have made a mockery of
This is no way to be livin' we're in great need of your love
Hello God (hello hello)
Hello God can you grant us love enough to start again
Hello God is there still a chance that we can make amends
Hello God we've learned our lesson dear God don't let us go
Oh now more than ever Hello God. Hello hello
Hello God we really need you we can't make it without you
Hello God we beseech you in the name of all that's true
Hello God please forgive us for we know not what we do
Hello God give us one more chance to prove ourselves to you
