Together, we expand the universe |
Together, we expand the universe

It is easy to see that cutting edge science might inspire art. But
does art have anything to offer the scientist?

Once the universe seemed small. Stargazers believed that climbing a
tower brought them closer to the heavens. Now one could take a rocket
ship to the edges of the solar system and still hardly have inched
into the cosmos. The universe has expanded, not only in a physical
sense, but in our conception of its dimensions. From a space smaller
than the solar system, as the universe was visualised in the 16th
century, it it now known to stretch for billions of light years with
billions of galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars.

Classic old question, But the answer is still the same. Art or Music,
all great scentists have been inspired by them.
But remember 5% of science is inspiration, 95% is hard painstaking work!
