Scientific Art and Science Fiction

Scientific Art and Science Fiction

The Worlds of Magic


The following pictures and texts represent an artist's graphic interpretation of geometry and physics. Geometry because of the shapes used, and physics due to light. Lighting refers to the latter scientific body of knowledge, given the importance that the speed of light as a limit, has for Einstein's Relativity Theory, on which most of modern physical science is based. Although the brilliant theories of most famous physicist Albert Einstein have often been challenged (for example with a 2011 study discovering neutrinos traveling faster than the speed of light - unconfirmed as of yet), they usually end up winning and remain uncontested to this day. As in the neutrinos proposition, colleagues in the field doubt the replicability of the experiment to such a degree, that one scientist even promised to eat his own shorts on live television, were these results to prove correct.

The images shows scenery and events presumably taking place in fictional, enchanted worlds. More fantasy art and other images are found on the artwork page index.

Being Megan Jorgensen, I’m always looking for something that tells me a little bit about what it means to be human. That’s how I measure the success of any artistic endeavor. And I always remember that success in any endeavor requires single-minded attention to detail and total concentration.

Aside from being a literary and movie genre, fantasy is also a type of art – fantasy art. In films and books, fantasy represents imaginary worlds, with many magic and other surreal elements. Such mythical fiction has captivated the minds of many throughout human history.

Pictures of Fictional Characters


Among all other areas, computers and the Internet have transformed art. Conséquente, digital or cyber art has appeared. Interestingly, animation has likewise undergone alteration, with 3D fascinating the public all over gain. Along these lines, the images below represent electronic depictions of some novel fictional characters.

Further, more images can be found on the artwork thematic index, while 2D and 3D animated movies are subdivided into cartoons and animations. Briefly, 2D and 3D differ mainly in shading, 2Ds seem more flat, since corresponding shades are applied on an all-or-nothing basis, similar to the functioning of a neuron. Conversely, 3D (aside from the three-dimensional entertainment effect achieved with special glasses) employ a gradient of color to render light.

Science and History of Science

When one looks at science from a historical perspective, it can be said that science has not always followed a linear path of development. For example, if one draws a diagram of scientific development, one can see that a lot more technological progress has been achieved in the last hundred or so years than in the thousands of years before that. Naturally, history courses talk about the history of science from the invention of the wheel up to the advent of the Internet, with important milestones being the period of the Classics, the Middle Ages (during which scientific progress was halted and regressed), the Renaissance and Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Today’s era, due to its prevalence of information and communications technologies, is typically referred to as the information age or the Information era.

Alternatively, to look at the scientific questions from a spiritual perspective, even today the debate of creationism versus intelligent design persists. Many people argue that the two cannot coexist, while others believe that God created science and the laws governing physics, and that we are learning God’s laws by exploring science. However, not everybody believes that, and it has been quoted by Soviet astronomers after first venturing into space that “we have been into space and there is no God there”. Regardless of what you believe or do not believe, there are social and hard applied sciences taught in universities and other institutions of higher learning. Social science refers to subjects such as psychology, political science, sociology, anthropology and economics. Conversely, hard and applied science correspond to mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. Interestingly enough, theology is also a science taught in most universities and many people earn their doctoral degrees in studies of theology.
