LW AIR: Chemicals

Posted on Posted in A Symbol Life, picture post

More old work:

I frequented Community Darkroom during the 70s into the mid 80s. During those days I collected chemistry from the visiting artist darkroom. Among those whose developer I collected:

— Karl Baden (85)
— Gary Metz (85)
— Dennis Hearne (82)
— Cindy Sherman (81)
— Kenda North (79)
— Michael Martone (78)
— Joseph Jachna (75)
— CJ Laughln (75)

[I’ve long since flushed the remains, although I kept some of the bottles (sample test tubes from the material sciences lab at Syracuse University.)

Scientific Change

Posted on Posted in A Symbol Life, creativity

Planck 1A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. –Max Planck, 1920

the laws will be revealed, simple: Feynman

Posted on Posted in A Symbol Life

“It always bothers me that, according to the laws as we understand them today, it takes a computing machine an infinite number of logical operations to figure out what goes on in no matter how tiny a region of space, and no matter how tiny a region of time. How can all that be going on in that tiny space? Why should it take an infinite amount of logic to figure out what one tiny piece of space/time is going to do? So I have often made the hypotheses that ultimately physics will not require a mathematical statement, that in the end the machinery will be revealed, and the laws will turn out to be simple, like the checker board with all its apparent complexities.” – Richard Feynman (1918 – 1988)
