A year ago, I posted a link to Murray Gell-Mann’s TED talk called, Beauty and truth in physics. In this talk Gell-Mann talked a lot about about symmetry.
Basically “things” with some form of symmetry have characteristics that don’t change under certain transformations (read “change”). Beautiful. Symmetry goes way beyond most people’s [...]

As if light wasn’t mystical enough… imagine light traveling backwards a a speed faster-than-light just to fit the other laws of light. Yes strange indeed.
Yes, current theories did predict this bizarre possibility that Robert Boyd discovered. Einstein, as it turns out, didn’t say nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, he [...]

As American’s look up tonight to see the flashes of light produced by fireworks, they need to realize that those light bursts last a very long time. To get a really really REALLY short flash one needs to work a lot harder.
Researchers have created the shortest-ever flash of light which lasted only 80 attoseconds (billionths [...]

At last year’s TED conference one of the lectures that was taped was by the polymath and physicist Murray Gell-Mann. I highly recommend taking a look. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/194
He talks a lot about symmetry. Symmetry goes way beyond simple mirror images about a line. Amazing symmetries also exists in magnificantly complex structures such as as [...]

I’ve been studying Futurist paintings for some time. The notion of using different representations of movement and change in a still image is intriguing to me. I also continue to read theoretical physics. In my mind an artist must tap from all manner of sources and combine this with their unique experiences [...]
