Collider: Science Is More Artful Than Art
Do we even have to point out that the images thrown up by science — from starbursts to bacteria to cloud formations — are more extraordinarily artful than anything conjured by artists? This question popped up in my noggin when reading a story with this subhed: “Higgs boson was just a start for Cern’s atom smasher – other mysteries await.” We learn that the Large Hadron Collider to which the story alludes will shut down for an overhaul in preparation for exploring questions of dark matter, extra dimensions and other universes. Extraordinary.
