Art And Physics

What can be more different than these two? After all, physics applies mathematics and the exactitude of the scientific method, based on observation, measurement and experiments; whereas painting, or music for that matter, concern themselves with subjective emotions, using colors, forms, or sounds, for expression. However, a more careful examination of art and science reveals, that despite their numerous specificities, they share a great deal in common. They both involve, for example, imagination, creativity and language. As a matter of fact, all the fundamental concepts of physics- including extension, quantity, space, time, matter and cosmos- are poetic metaphors.
