All though I wasn't too pulled into this book, I did find it informative. Mainly because it gave me insight on how these two polar opposite topics are related. To be honest, I never really thought these two topics could correlate.
The book started off with how our minds start off seeing things in an abstract way so we can understand it all as a whole, which is what physicists do with art. He then goes on with how each topic tries to break down each other. His over all thesis is that artists basically predict the future of science through their artwork. This idea is pretty accurate since artists have a very futuristic and abstract way of conveying their thoughts. Many artists in the past have made something that later comes up in science.
This book was really helpful to me so I could see the relationship between the two. I never really thought about how artist's would show futuristic ideas in their work, and it would become true. It's almost like each and every artist's can see the future without knowing it. It would be amazing if I (being a visual artist) could create something that would one day be a breakthrough in science.
