ScienceandArt

 Art and Science, they were mentioned side by side in the classic world.  But now, it was separated.  Art is the one with imagination, Science is the one with all the data.  It's kind weird.  Because Artist usually spills out their inner thoughts through art, so other people can see, hear, or touch what's inside of them.  But science is the opposite, a Scientist is one who observe the outside world, through which he collects data, in numbers, graphics, and other means.  And he uses all the data, to form a concept inside his mind.  It seems totally opposite way to live.  But it's not.  For an artist once expressed his inner imagination, he needs to observe the world again to fuel his imagination.  For scientist, once he formed his concept in his mind, he has an urge to share it with world.  They both observe and express.  They both need to use their hands, perceptions, to do both.  


I was reading Rachel Carson's the sea around us.  She told a fascinating theory about how moon was formed.  With that lyrical words she wrote, a huge painting was formed inside my head.  Such a treat, also an intrigue.  I looked up how moon was formed online.  So many theories.  I was thinking to myself, what an imagination for those scientists to formulate those awesome theories.  When The Sea around us was  written, human had not stepped on the moon yet.  Imagination, an artist's word.  But a scientist used.  I am simply awed.
