What's wrong with sounding seientific?
Quite right, xara. What’s more, there is a beautiful synchronicity between the arts and science in reality, though we commonly draw them as two poles at this point in our history. They are not thesis and antithesis at all – they both spring from the same creative mainspring of the human spirit.
I like Popper’s analysis of the precognitive leap of imagination prior to the opening of any new theoretical front – or as William Blake said:
What is now proved was once only imagined.
A flash of imagination in the face of the mysterious is surely the precursor of all creative human experience. This understanding has been shared not only by artists but also by leading scientists:
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. …The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.
– Albert Einstein
As humans we are never unipotent! (, tsuwm)
