Does the Higgs Boson offer proof that nature is not natural?
When scientists working at CERN discovered the HIggs Boson last year, it was expected they would find other new particles along with the Higgs as predicted by every model there was. But it was just a boson, and one that seemed to be way smaller than it should have been. The big (really big) implication here is that the universe may not have a “natural order” that every thinker and scientist from Aristotle to Einstein have been a fan of. In fact, our universe may be one of trillions who just happened to have physical laws just good enough for anything to exist at all and the laws of physics we so rely on only go so far before everything stops making sense.
René Binet was a French architect and painter (born in 1866). What I find really fascinating about his work is that much of it is heavily inspired by biological illustrations; specifically those found in Ernst Haeckel’s book ‘Art Forms in Nature’. This coloured image of his piece, La Porte Monumentale, is a clear example of the influenced on his work.

Minimal Posters - Five Great Mathematicians And Their Contributions.
Y’know, math is really just a less fun kind of physics…
I kid, each discipline has its own pro’s and con’s - but to not respect the relationship between mathematics and physics is the same as to not understand either.
