Status Updates From Art and Physics: Parallel V...

This book is absolutely amazing.

Chapter 20 on the novel was amazing.

This is nothing short of amazing!

"Readers who hold to the strict mathematically correct position that relativity is not subjective must feel a little uneasiness when reflecting upon Einstein's statement: Something that is 'real' for one observer, but an 'illusion' for another, depends solely upon one's point of view."

I must have been going the speed of light while reading today. I'm certain I lost time.

Monet, Cezanne, and Einstein... my brain is tired! 🥰

"Edith Sitwell said that William Blake was 'cracked," but she believed it was through this crack that his light shone."

Yeah... the best of us are all a bit cracked. 🥰

From Chapter 6

"Using both brush and pen, Leonardo changed the way we see the world and this subtle shift in mind-set prepared people to be receptive when Newton introduced a new way to think about the world."

One of those books that has me riveted to every page, carefully reading and hoping to understand clearly, but one breath away from the ideas being scattered to the wind.

"Medieval communities prized self-effacing team effort so much that individual names are rarely attached to medieval works of art.

In the Renaissance, by contrast, man emerged as the hero... but the industrious, creative citizen of the new age."

This book is breaking my brain in all the best ways.

"The repeated use of alphabets by a large number of ancient Greeks over a long period of time reinforced three aspects of comprehension: abstraction, linearity, and continuity."

This is going to be a long read but every page is packed with ideas that phase shift my brain so I need time to rest every ten pages.

I'm in love with this book already.
"In the following pages, I shall demonstrate how revolutionary art can be understood as the preverbal stage of a civilization first contending with a major change in its perception of the world."

Instantly in love...
