Reply #36: Astrophysicist Sir James Jeans said the universe manifests characteristics of an artistic mind [View All]

[Liberation Angel]

that it is fluid like dancers at a cotillion

and not mechanical like a machine

though based on mathematics and physical laws, there were elements of artistic creativity in these laws.

It is a beautiful way of looking at it (and Jeans was hot enough stuff to have craters on Mars and the Moon named after him)

I think I read about this in "The Mysterious Universe: which he wrote.

A link for that can be found here:
