Exploring the Intersection of Art and Physics: A Humanities Perspective

[LuciaK]

Hi, I'm a new member. I joined this forum because I'm interested with astrophysics and cosmology. I'm actually in the field of the Humanities, currently taking up my Master's in Art History. I like physics because I think it is where art and science beautifully intersect. I started to see the possibilities when we studied Taoism and Hinduism. Carl Sagan specifically commended Hinduism. And then I found out there's actually a book written by a physicist called the Tao of Physics. I would like to know more about the dark matter, dark energy, BECs, the Holographic Principle, Boltzmann Brains, Anthropic Principle, EPR Paradox, quantum mechanics, etc. I plan to write a novel someday that would incorporate these ideas so I wanted to learn about them even in the most general way but sadly, there are no immediate experts of Physics that I can ask. So I hope I could find a kind person who would willingly educate me about these topics. Thank you.

cool, what is the highest math you've completed?

A mere general college algebra. My undergrad major was notoriously known for having mathphobic students. But I could understand general explanation of theories. I've read and watched a lot of physics related sites including Fermilab and PBS Space Time. But then again, I get confused on some topics but there's no one to talk about it.

Welcome @LuciaK, some of the most interesting people are those with cross-speciality interests. Hope we can keep up with your explorations!
