Science for me is very close to art. Scientific discovery is an irrational act. It's an intuition which turns out to be reality at the end of it-and I see no difference between a scientist developing a marvellous discovery and an artist making a painting.
Interpretation
Science and art are closely connected through intuition and creativity, both leading to discoveries and creations.
Carlo Rubbia's quote emphasizes the intrinsic similarities between science and art, suggesting that both fields rely on intuition and creativity. He asserts that scientific discoveries may appear irrational or abstract at first, similar to artistic expression, but ultimately both realms transform intuition into a tangible reality that enriches human experience.
In practice
In a lecture on the interdisciplinary nature of science and art, one might use this quote to illustrate the shared creative processes.
We live in an age of music for people who don't like music. The record industry discovered some time ago that there aren't that many people who actually like music. For a lot of people, music's annoying, or at the very least they don't need it. They discovered if they could sell music to a lot of those people, they could sell a lot more records.
When it's in a book I don't think it'll hurt any more ...exist any more. One of the things writing does is wipe things out. Replace them.
I really subscribe to that old adage that you should never let the audience get ahead of you for a second. So if the film's abrasive and wrongfoots people then, y'know, that's great. But I hope it involves an audience.
Writing fiction is an inherently political activity because people-even imaginary ones-do not live in vacuums... From Twilight to Romeo and Juliet to The Little Mermaid, no work of the imagination is truly apolitical, because the world and our hopes for it are always part of our stories.
I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth.
Fundamental accuracy of statement is the ONE sole morality of writing.
