Time-space nouns connecting science and art
People have noticed for a long time that scientists have more or less a keen ability to appreciate art, especially those leading figures who have made great achievements in science. They have an indissoluble bond with art. Why?
In fact, there is another very important factor at work, and that is the sixth place in the crisis of time and space-feeling.
Let's learn about space-time and space-time art first.
Hermann minkowski pointed out in 1908 that "there is no isolated time and space, only the combination of the two makes sense." This is the earliest discussion about time and space. In the previous scientific field, Galileo and Newton's universe was standard, and its time and space were completely independent.
Space has three dimensions, measured by Euclidean geometry. Time is only once, and he always points in one direction-the future. This directionality is always confirmed by observation as the cause of the event, not the result. Take the causal law scientifically, so that we can build a model (Figure 1), a present time that extends simultaneously in space, separating the past from the future.
Minkowski's argument, which we quoted at the beginning, finally replaced the above-mentioned space-time structure and was confirmed by the famous Einstein. This out-of-control structure is called Minkowski and spacetime, and it has four dimensions.
What we need to understand is that every TV in time and space is an event, a combination of electricity (matter) in space and a point in time (a time) universe. The so-called combination of the universe is an innate and understandable combination. Just as the nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons. The water molecule is hydrogen dioxygen.
In order to make our understanding clearer, we introduce a way to express the change and development of events in time and space-light cone.
We imagine a point in space where the store glows. In a certain period of time, the wavefront of light is a sphere centered on the emission point, which expands with time at the speed of light.
In order to facilitate the reflection on the map, one dimension of the space will be omitted and represented as (Figure 2) a natural light cone to describe the trajectory after the light is emitted. Similarly, we can represent the light cones of several events on the same graph (Figure 3).
The above is the development of the concept of time and space, and the development and change of events in time and space are illustrated by graphics.
Later, the dimension system broke through the concept of realizing emptiness, but spatial things above the fifth dimension only make sense in the universe.
Compared with the specialized study of dimensions, it is more popular and accepted to explain and clarify with the artistic system.
Art, like many forms of expressing things, still exists in the form of dimensions. We can understand out of control by understanding art.
Art is divided into narrow sense and broad sense. The former only refers to music and art, but broadly refers to all social activities that can arouse people's excitement. They contain all the beauty and thoughts, intuition and abstraction, emotion, temperament and the accumulation of life. Here we consider the dimension of art in a broad sense.
What we can correspond to it is that the picture is flat, that is, two-dimensional things; Sculpture is a three-dimensional thing. What about dancing? Some people will say that it is three-dimensional. Indeed, his body language is not three-dimensional, but four-dimensional, because he added music, and music is four-dimensional. It should be noted that the fourth dimension is not equal to the fourth dimension, it has only one dimension. Similarly, time is a fourth-dimensional thing, and their similarity is directivity, which is suitable for the law of cause and effect. Just because dance is inseparable from music, it is a four-dimensional thing.
Using a light cone can simply express dance, but it will lose a lot of beautiful ingredients.
Later, scientists thought that thought was the fifth dimension, so literature that conveyed feelings and freehand brushwork thoughts became the fifth dimension art, and later feelings became the sixth dimension. And all artists have reached the sixth dimension with creative inspiration. These artists naturally include: painters, sculptors, designers, musicians and so on. It is precisely because these works of art incorporate the artist's inspiration and creativity that they are called art, so I think art is the sixth dimension. When it is combined with that form, it becomes a multi-dimensional art. The six dimensions of the earth, like other dimensions, are meaningful only if they are combined with something in the same dimension, just as there is no independent art in life, only if they are combined with other social forms.
In real life, when we see a work, we feel happy or depressed without thinking too much. For example, people who recently listened to a song "Black Sunday" uploaded on the Internet will feel chest tightness, fidgety and even commit suicide. So this song is called suicide music. Also, when you see the statue of Maitreya, you can't help smiling, perhaps for other reasons or because the sixth dimension of the universe is at work.
With the above understanding, let's take a look at the fate of scientists and artists mentioned at the beginning.
To sum up, it is beyond reproach that artists create by feeling. The artist who can best express this point is the legendary Dutch painter Van Gogh. Here are two of his works. One is Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles, which is dominated by bright warm colors, giving people a sense of quiet and peaceful home life. The other is an indoor cafe at night. The dark blue roof, red walls and yellow floor give people a feeling of depression, melancholy and crime, especially the pool table in the middle of the picture is like a coffin, and the shadow is particularly uncomfortable.
What about scientists? I think it is also through feeling that new theories and new judgments are produced. Here are two examples. One is Newton. When Newton saw the apple fall to the ground, he felt a force pulling him down instead of thinking about whether the apple was ripe or even bitten by a bug. It was Newton's feeling that prompted him to prove and find the force to pull the apple down. Finally, he used scientific tools to come up with a new theory. Obviously, this was Newton's idea at that time. The other is Madame Curie's daughter. A scientist wants to know whose children among scientists in the world could become scientists at that time. He did an experiment among these children. He asked everyone seriously. A basin is full of overflowing water. If you put something in it, it will overflow, but why not put a fish in it and overflow? At that time, only Madame Curie's daughter said, I feel the water will overflow. In fact, he doesn't know why, it's just a feeling. Later, he really became a famous scientist. So when you find that a child often says that he has feelings, then he is a good seedling. So the scientist's feelings play an important role in his creative research.
When we talk about this, the connection between scientists and artists is obvious. Science is to create new theories by feeling, while artists are transmitting feelings and a smart feeling. To sum up, everyone is expressing a feeling.
Of course, this is just a very important connection between them. Scientists are outstanding as designers who transform nature and society. As an image shaper who creates life and is full of vitality, artists are both free and artistic. Coincidentally, their combination in the dimensions of feeling and inspiration produces the passion of life and the immortal soul of life.
This just right combination is an accidental beauty, and of course it is also an inevitable coordination.
